Description
I will discuss various aspects of supersymmetric systems from the point of view of the theory of computational complexity. These include the claim that computing the Witten index of N=2 quantum mechanics is #P-complete and thus intractable. I will also discuss the complexity of finding supersymmetric ground states of local SUSY Hamiltonians and its implications for the problem of computing certain cohomology groups.
