Time-dependent Hamiltonians and Geometry of Operators Generated by Them
arXiv:2405.14410 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevE.111.014104
Abstract
We obtain the complexity geometry associated with the Hamiltonian of a quantum mechanical system, specifically in cases where the Hamiltonian is explicitly time-dependent. Using Nielsen's geometric formulation of circuit complexity, we calculate the bi-invariant cost associated with these time-dependent Hamiltonians by suitably regularising their norms and obtain analytical expressions of the costs for several well-known time-dependent quantum mechanical systems. Specifically, we show that an equivalence exists between the total costs of obtaining an operator through time evolution generated by a unit mass harmonic oscillator whose frequency depends on time, and a harmonic oscillator whose both mass and frequency are functions of time. These results are illustrated with several examples, including a specific smooth quench protocol where the comparison of time variation of the cost with other information theoretic quantities, such as the Shannon entropy, is discussed.
