Heavy-ion collisions at BNL's Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider and CERN's Large Hadron
Collider provide strong evidence for the formation of a quark-gluon plasma, with …

When nuclear matter is heated beyond 2 trillion degrees, it becomes a strongly coupled
plasma of quarks and gluons. Experiments using highly energetic collisions between heavy …

A bstract We use holography to study sensitive dependence on initial conditions in strongly
coupled field theories. Specifically, we mildly perturb a thermofield double state by adding a …

A bstract We compute the time-dependent entanglement entropy of a CFT which starts in
relatively simple initial states. The initial states are the thermofield double for thermal states …

We review the imaginary time path integral approach to the quench dynamics of conformal
field theories. We show how this technique can be applied to the determination of the time …

Quarks cannot be observed as free particles in nature because they are confined into
baryons and mesons, as a result of the fact that the strong interaction between them …

Heavy ion collision experiments recreating the quark-gluon plasma that filled the nascent
universe have established that it is a nearly perfect liquid that flows with such minimal …

The discussions in § 2 and § 3 make it rather clear that while we have to evaluate a
sequence of functional integrals to compute the Rényi entropies, these are rather complex …

We consider the time evolution of entanglement entropy after a global quench in a strongly
coupled holographic system, whose subsequent equilibration is described in the gravity …

A bstract In this second part of the study initiated in [1], we investigate holographic
complexity for eternal black hole backgrounds perturbed by shock waves, with both the …
