Islands, Double Holography, and the Entanglement Membrane
Hanzhi Jiang, Mike Blake, Anthony P. Thompson
The quantum extremal island rule allows us to compute the Page curves of Hawking radiation in semi-classical gravity. In this work, we study the connection between these calculatio…

Fast Scrambling in Classically Simulable Quantum Circuits
Mike Blake, Noah Linden, Anthony P. Thompson
We study operator scrambling in quantum circuits built from `super-Clifford' gates. For such circuits it was established in arXiv:2002.12824 that the time evolution of operator ent…

Exact results for sheared polar active suspensions with variable liquid crystalline order
Aurore Loisy, Anthony P. Thompson, Jens Eggers +1
We consider a confined sheared active polar liquid crystal with a uniform orientation and study the effect of variations in the magnitude of polarization. Restricting our analysis…
