Gravitation from optimized computation: Einstein and beyond
Rafael Carrasco, Juan F. Pedraza, Andrew Svesko +1
A new principle in quantum gravity, dubbed spacetime complexity, states that gravitational physics emerges from spacetime seeking to optimize the computational cost of its quantum…
Computing spacetime
Juan F. Pedraza, Andrea Russo, Andrew Svesko +1
Inspired by the universality of computation, we advocate for a principle of spacetime complexity, where gravity arises as a consequence of spacetime optimizing the computational co…
Sewing spacetime with Lorentzian threads: complexity and the emergence of time in quantum gravity
Juan F. Pedraza, Andrea Russo, Andrew Svesko +1
Holographic entanglement entropy was recently recast in terms of Riemannian flows or 'bit threads'. We consider the Lorentzian analog to reformulate the 'complexity=volume' conject…
Lorentzian threads as 'gatelines' and holographic complexity
Juan F. Pedraza, Andrea Russo, Andrew Svesko +1
The continuous min flow-max cut principle is used to reformulate the 'complexity=volume' conjecture using Lorentzian flows -- divergenceless norm-bounded timelike vector fields who…
The constraints of post-quantum classical gravity
Jonathan Oppenheim, Zachary Weller-Davies
We study a class of theories in which space-time is treated classically, while interacting with quantum fields. These circumvent various no-go theorems and the pathologies of semi-…
