The wide applications of higher dimensional gravity and gauge/gravity duality have fuelled
the search for new stationary solutions of the Einstein equation (possibly coupled to matter) …

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 …

In this paper we give an overview of some recent progress in using holography to study
various far-from-equilibrium condensed matter systems. Non-equilibrium problems are …

A bstract We propose a free falling particle in an AdS space as a holographic model of local
quench. Local quenches are triggered by local excitations in a given quantum system. We …

Symmetry-breaking phase transitions are an example of non-equilibrium processes that
require real-time treatment, a major challenge in strongly coupled systems without long-lived …

In this work, we have studied the possibility of setting up Bell's inequality violating
experiment in the context of cosmology, based on the basic principles of quantum …

A bstract We employ holographic techniques to study quantum quenches at finite
temperature, where the quenches involve varying the coupling of the boundary theory to a …

A bstract This is an expanded version of the short report arxiv: 1401.0539, where we studied
the time evolution of (Renyi) entanglement entropies for the excited state defined by acting a …

We study the time evolution of a conformal field theory deformed by a relevant operator
under a smooth but fast quantum quench which brings it to the conformal point. We argue …

A bstract We expand on the investigation of the universal scaling properties in the early time
behaviour of fast but smooth quantum quenches in a general d-dimensional conformal field …
