Complexity, action, and black holes
Adam R. Brown, Daniel A. Roberts, Leonard Susskind +2
Our earlier paper "Complexity Equals Action" conjectured that the quantum computational complexity of a holographic state is given by the classical action of a region in the bulk (…
Complexity Equals Action
Adam R. Brown, Daniel A. Roberts, Leonard Susskind +2
We conjecture that the quantum complexity of a holographic state is dual to the action of a certain spacetime region that we call a Wheeler-DeWitt patch. We illustrate and test the…
Area Law for Gapless States from Local Entanglement Thermodynamics
Brian Swingle, John McGreevy
We demonstrate an area law bound on the ground state entanglement entropy of a wide class of gapless quantum states of matter using a strategy called local entanglement thermodynam…
