Complexity in algebraic QFT
From MaRDI portal
Abstract: We consider a notion of complexity of quantum channels in relativistic continuum quantum field theory (QFT) defined by the distance to the trivial (identity) channel. Our distance measure is based on a specific divergence between quantum channels derived from the Belavkin-Staszewski (BS) divergence. We prove in the prerequisite generality necessary for the algebras in QFT that the corresponding complexity has several reasonable properties: (i) the complexity of a composite channel is not larger than the sum of its parts, (ii) it is additive for channels localized in spacelike separated regions, (iii) it is convex, (iv) for an -ary measurement channel it is , (v) for a conditional expectation associated with an inclusion of QFTs with finite Jones index it is given by . The main technical tool in our work is a new variational principle for the BS divergence.
