Abstract

We demonstrate a relation between Nielsen's approach toward circuit complexity and Krylov complexity through a particular construction of quantum state space geometry. We start by associating K\"ahler structures on the full projective Hilbert space of low rank algebras. This geometric structure of the states in the Hilbert space ensures that every unitary transformation of the associated algebras leave the metric and the symplectic forms invariant. We further associate a classical matter free Jackiw-Teitelboim gravity model with these state manifolds and show that the dilaton can be interpreted as the quantum mechanical expectation values of the symmetry generators. On the other hand, we identify the dilaton with the spread complexity over a Krylov basis thereby proposing a geometric perspective connecting two different notions of complexity.
