“…[5,6]). For integrable one-dimensional models the entanglement does indeed spread ballistically [7][8][9], which is to be expected since such systems have ballistically propagating quasiparticles that can serve as carriers of the information. For various localized models, on the other hand, the entanglement has been shown to spread much more slowly, only logarithmically with time [8,[10][11][12][13][14][15][16].…”
We study the time evolution of the entanglement entropy of a one-dimensional nonintegrable spin chain, starting from random nonentangled initial pure states. We use exact diagonalization of a nonintegrable quantum Ising chain with transverse and longitudinal fields to obtain the exact quantum dynamics. We show that the entanglement entropy increases linearly with time before finite-size saturation begins, demonstrating a ballistic spreading of the entanglement, while the energy transport in the same system is diffusive. Thus, we explicitly demonstrate that the spreading of entanglement is much faster than the energy diffusion in this nonintegrable system.

“…In holographic theories, it has been shown that they can probe the interior of the black hole in the gravitational dual (e.g. [13,14,15,16,17,18,19,20,21,3]). In particular, they are expected to shed new light on the nature of spacetime singularities, although this may require going far beyond the leading strong coupling order.…”
We study 2-point and 3-point functions in CFT at finite temperature for large dimension operators using holography. The 2-point function leads to a universal formula for the holographic free energy in d dimensions in terms of the c-anomaly coefficient. By including α corrections to the black brane background, one can reproduce the leading correction at strong coupling. In turn, 3-point functions have a very intricate structure, exhibiting a number of interesting properties. In simple cases, we find an analytic formula, which reduces to the expected expressions in different limits. When the dimensions satisfy ∆ i = ∆ j + ∆ k , the thermal 3-point function satisfies a factorization property. We argue that in d > 2 factorization is a reflection of the semiclassical regime.
“…This problematic was undertaken since the beginning of AdS/CFT and, since then, many important advances have been achieved (see e.g. [10,11,12,13,14,15,16,17,18,9,19,20,21]).…”
We compute thermal 2-point correlation functions in the black brane AdS 5 background dual to 4d CFT's at finite temperature for operators of large scaling dimension. We find a formula that matches the expected structure of the OPE. It exhibits an exponentiation property, whose origin we explain. We also compute the first correction to the two-point function due to graviton emission, which encodes the time travel to the black hole singularity.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
