Spread complexity as classical dilaton solutions

arXiv:2302.10489 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevD.108.025013

Abstract

We demonstrate a relation between Nielsen's approach towards circuit complexity and Krylov complexity through a particular construction of quantum state space geometry. We start by associating Kähler structures on the full projective Hilbert space of low rank algebras. This geometric structure of the states in the Hilbert space ensures that every unitary transformation of the associated algebras leave the metric and the symplectic forms invariant. We further associate a classical matter free Jackiw-Teitelboim (JT) gravity model with these state manifolds and show that the dilaton can be interpreted as the quantum mechanical expectation values of the symmetry generators. On the other hand we identify the dilaton with the spread complexity over a Krylov basis thereby proposing a geometric perspective connecting two different notions of complexity.
