Complexity from the Reduced Density Matrix: a new Diagnostic for Chaos (2011.04705v2)
Published 9 Nov 2020 in hep-th, nlin.CD, and quant-ph
Abstract: We investigate circuit complexity to characterize chaos in multiparticle quantum systems. In the process, we take a stride to analyze open quantum systems by using complexity. We propose a new diagnostic of quantum chaos from complexity based on the reduced density matrix by exploring different types of quantum circuits. Through explicit calculations on a toy model of two coupled harmonic oscillators, where one or both of the oscillators are inverted, we demonstrate that the evolution of complexity is a possible diagnostic of chaos.
