We utilize the Fubini-Study metric in order to define a notion of distance and hence circuit complexity on the Virasoro group. The resulting problem is mathematically equivalent to geodesic motion in infinite dimensions, with integro-differential equations of motion. We discuss the properties of these equations and of their solutions.
