Abstract: The statistical complexity of continuous-variable quantum states can be characterized with a quantifier defined in terms of information-theoretic quantities derived from the Husimi Q -function. In this work, we utilize this complexity quantifier of quantum states to study the complexity of single-mode bosonic quantum channels. We define the complexity of quantum channels as the maximal amount of complexity they can generate from an initial state with the minimal complexity. We illustrate this concept by evaluating the complexity of Gaussian channels and some examples of non-Gaussian channels. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
