Hello everyone,

Please join us at 12:00pm today on Tuesday, September 12, 2017 for a Condensed Matter Physics Seminar with Xueda Wen, Massachusetts Institute of Technology.

The seminar will be held in the Duboc room 4-331

Please see the details of Xueda’s talk below.

Title: Entanglement hamiltonian evolution during thermalization in conformal field theory

Abstract: I will introduce how the entanglement hamiltonian and entanglement spectrum evolve in time during thermalization in a conformal field theory after a quantum quench.

Based on conformal mappings, the exact form of entanglement hamiltonian and entanglement spectrum can be obtained  at arbitrary time. I will also introduce how the flows generated

by entanglement hamiltonian in Minkowski spacetime provide us information on entanglement propagation and thermalization in a subsystem.

Date: Tuesday,September 12, 2017

Time:  12:00pm

Room: Duboc Room 4-331

Host: Itamar Kimchi
