We develop a linear response theory for complexity, and demonstrate that the complexity can exhibit exponential sensitivity in response to perturbations of initial conditions for chaotic systems. Two immediate significant results follows: i) the complexity linear response matrix gives rise to a spectrum that fully recovers the Lyapunov exponents in the classical limit, and ii) the linear response of complexity is given by the out-of-time order correlators.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2020-04-07T15:53:57.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "quantum chaos", "complexity geometry", "initial conditions", "complexity linear response matrix", "out-of-time order correlators" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 5, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
