Circuit Complexity for Coherent States

TLDR
In this article, the circuit complexity of coherent states in a free scalar field theory was examined using Nielsen's geometric approach, and the complexity of the coherent states had the same UV divergences as the vacuum state complexity.
Abstract
We examine the circuit complexity of coherent states in a free scalar field theory, applying Nielsen’s geometric approach as in [1]. The complexity of the coherent states have the same UV divergences as the vacuum state complexity and so we consider the finite increase of the complexity of these states over the vacuum state. One observation is that generally, the optimal circuits introduce entanglement between the normal modes at intermediate stages even though our reference state and target states are not entangled in this basis. We also compare our results from Nielsen’s approach with those found using the Fubini-Study method of [2]. For general coherent states, we find that the complexities, as well as the optimal circuits, derived from these two approaches, are different.

Complexity and entanglement for thermofield double states

Time evolution of complexity: a critique of three methods

TL;DR: In this article, the authors propose a testing procedure to distinguish between the different approaches for computing complexity and show that only circuit complexity obtained directly from the wave function is sensitive to time evolution, leaving them to claim that it surpasses the other approaches.

Holographic Derivation of Entanglement Entropy from the anti de Sitter Space/Conformal Field Theory Correspondence

TL;DR: It is argued that the entanglement entropy in d + 1 dimensional conformal field theories can be obtained from the area of d dimensional minimal surfaces in AdS(d+2), analogous to the Bekenstein-Hawking formula for black hole entropy.
