Universal Constraints on Energy Flow and SYK Thermalization

Ahmed Almheiri, Alexey Milekhin, Brian Swingle

We study the dynamics of a quantum system in thermal equilibrium that is suddenly coupled to a bath at a different temperature, a situation inspired by a particular black hole evap…

Quenched vs Annealed: Glassiness from SK to SYK

C. L. Baldwin, B. Swingle

We show that any SYK-like model with finite-body interactions among \textit{local} degrees of freedom, e.g., bosons or spins, has a fundamental difference from the standard fermion…

The Speed of Quantum Information Spreading in Chaotic Systems

Josiah Couch, Stefan Eccles, Phuc Nguyen +2

We present a general theory of quantum information propagation in chaotic quantum many-body systems. The generic expectation in such systems is that quantum information does not pr…

Universal Prethermal Dynamics in Gross-Neveu-Yukawa Criticality

Shao-Kai Jian, Shuai Yin, Brian Swingle

We study the prethermal dynamics of the Gross-Neveu-Yukawa quantum field theory, suddenly quenched in the vicinity of a quantum critical point. We find that the universal pretherma…

Cosmology at the end of the world

Stefano Antonini, Brian Swingle

In the last two decades the Anti-de Sitter/Conformal Field Theory correspondence (AdS/CFT) has emerged as focal point of many research interests. In particular, it functions as a s…

Quantum circuit approximations and entanglement renormalization for the Dirac field in 1+1 dimensions

Freek Witteveen, Volkher Scholz, Brian Swingle +1

The multiscale entanglement renormalization ansatz describes quantum many-body states by a hierarchical entanglement structure organized by length scale. Numerically, it has been d…
