Evolution of Complexity Following a Global Quench

Moosa, Mudassir

Understand

The rate of complexification of a quantum state is conjectured to be bounded from above by the average energy of the state.

A different conjecture relates the complexity of a holographic CFT state to the on-shell gravitational action of a certain bulk region.
We use 'complexity equals action' conjecture to study the time evolution of the complexity of the CFT state after a global quench.
We find that the rate of growth of complexity is not only consistent with the conjectured bound, but it also saturates the bound soon after the system has achieved local equilibrium.
