Hamiltonian deformations in quantum mechanics, , and SYK
David J. Gross, Jorrit Kruthoff, Andrew Rolph +1
Motivated by , we introduce and study a wide class of solvable deformations of quantum-mechanical theories. These deformations map the Hamiltonian to a function of itself.…
in AdS and Quantum Mechanics
David J. Gross, Jorrit Kruthoff, Andrew Rolph +1
Quantum field theory in zero spatial dimensions has a rich infrared landscape and a universal ultraviolet, inverting the usual Wilsonian paradigm. For holographic theories this imp…
Scrambling in Two-Dimensional Conformal Field Theories with Light and Smeared Operators
Harsha R. Hampapura, Andrew Rolph, Bogdan Stoica
We study quantum chaos in two dimensional conformal field theories, building on the work analyzing the out-of-time order thermal correlation functions using large-c Virasoro blocks…
Bit Threads in Higher Curvature Gravity
Jonathan Harper, Matthew Headrick, Andrew Rolph
We generalize holographic bit threads to bulk theories with a gravitational action containing higher-curvature terms. Bit threads are a reformulation of holographic entanglement en…
