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…
The Typical-State Paradox: Diagnosing Horizons with Complexity
Leonard Susskind
The concept of transparent and opaque horizons is defined. One example of opaqueness is the presence of a firewall. Two apparently contradictory statements are reconciled: The over…
Electromagnetic Memory
Leonard Susskind
An elementary derivation of the electromagnetic memory effect is given. An experimental setup to detect it is suggested.
