Circuit Complexity

Circuit complexity is a way of measuring how difficult it is to solve a problem using a logical system called a circuit, which is made up of interconnected gates that process inputs and produce outputs. It looks at the smallest or simplest circuit needed to solve a problem, considering factors like the number of gates or layers. This measure helps us understand the resources required for computation, shedding light on how efficiently a problem can be addressed by hardware or algorithms. In essence, it quantifies the "effort" needed to perform a specific logical task.
