How much information a fermionic state contains? To address this fundamental question, we define the complexity of a particle-conserving many-fermion state as the entropy of its Fock space probability distribution, minimized over all Fock…

Despite its enormous empirical success, the formalism of quantum theory still raises fundamental questions: why is nature described in terms of complex Hilbert spaces, and what modifications of it could we reasonably expect to find in some…

We study the topological complexity of sets defined using Khovanskii's Pfaffian functions, in terms of an appropriate notion of format for those sets. We consider semi- and sub-Pfaffian sets, but more generally any definable set in the…

An ordered structure is called o-minimalistic if it has all the first-order features of an o-minimal structure. We propose a theory, DCTC (Definable Completeness/Type Completeness), that describes many properties of o-minimalistic…

In topological dynamics, tame and null systems arise naturally in the study of low-complexity aperiodic behaviour, yet providing concrete and easily testable conditions to establish their existence in a canonical class of systems is often…

The concepts of complementarity and entanglement are considered with respect to their significance in and beyond physics. A formally generalized, weak version of quantum theory, more general than ordinary quantum theory of material systems,…

A measure of complexity based on a probabilistic description of physical systems is proposed. This measure incorporates the main features of the intuitive notion of such a magnitude. It can be applied to many physical situations and to…

We extend algorithmic information theory to quantum mechanics, taking a universal semicomputable density matrix (``universal probability'') as a starting point, and define complexity (an operator) as its negative logarithm. A number of…

The qualitatively new concept of dynamic complexity in quantum mechanics is based on a new paradigm appearing within a nonperturbational analysis of the Schroedinger equation for a generic Hamiltonian system. The unreduced analysis…

The intuition that a long history is required for the emergence of complexity in natural systems is formalized using the notion of depth. The depth of a system is defined in terms of the number of parallel computational steps needed to…

Quantum many-body systems exhibit a rich and diverse range of exotic behaviours, owing to their underlying non-classical structure. These systems present a deep structure beyond those that can be captured by measures of correlation and…

This paper explores the problem of quantum measurement complexity. In computability theory, the complexity of a problem is determined by how long it takes an effective algorithm to solve it. This complexity may be compared to the difficulty…
