Abstract: In classical mechanics, stress and strain are defined within real vector spaces using real-valued second-order tensors. Recent developments in quantum field theory, holography, and complex spacetime geometry indicate that such real-valued frameworks may be insufficient to describe phenomena like quantum entanglement, nonlocal curvature, and holographic effects. This paper proposes an extension of the classical stress-strain theory into complex vector spaces by introducing complex displacement fields. From these fields, complex strain and stress tensors are derived. The imaginary components of these tensors are interpreted as internal curvature, holographic tension, or phase-related deformations, which may represent hidden quantum degrees of freedom. The proposed formalism accommodates dissipative processes, non-Hermitian behavior, and stress effects induced by quantum entanglement. Applications of this framework are discussed for quantum materials, holographic analog systems, and cosmological models where classical stress-energy tensors might require complex-valued generalizations. This approach provides a unified tensorial representation for exploring deformation across classical and quantum regimes, potentially offering insights into the interplay between geometry and quantum fields.
