SECOND QUANTIZED KOLMOGOROV COMPLEXITY

Caroline Rogers, Vlatko Vedral, Rajagopal Nagarajan · International Journal of Quantum Information · 2008

The Kolmogorov complexity of a string is the length of its shortest description. We define a second quantized Kolmogorov complexity where the length of a description is defined to be the average length of its superposition. We discuss this complexity's basic properties. We define the corresponding prefix complexity and show that the inequalities obeyed by this prefix complexity are also obeyed by von Neumann entropy.
