Complexity in Conformal Field Theories

Abstract : I will talk about some recent attempts to quantify complexity of quantum states in conformal field theories. The motivation for this program comes from the AdS/CFT correspondence that relates gravity with conformal field theories. After a basic introduction, I will describe a few physical/mathematical questions that may be interesting for more general quantum information and quantum computation audience. References: 1. P.
