For a field theory with a gravitational dual, following Susskind's proposal we define holographic complexity for a subsystem. The holographic complexity is proportional to the volume of a co-dimension one time slice in the bulk geometry…

Quantum complexity quantifies the difficulty of preparing a state or implementing a unitary transformation with limited resources. Applications range from quantum computation to condensed matter physics and quantum gravity. We seek to…

Topological phases of matter are often described using auxiliary systems in one extra dimension. I review the one-dimensional cluster state--the simplest quantum state with Symmetry-Protected Topological (SPT) order--as a toy model of…
