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 …

We consider charge transport properties of 2+ 1 dimensional conformal field theories at
nonzero temperature. For theories with only Abelian U (1) charges, we describe the action of …

A theory is presented of quantum criticality in open (coupled to reservoirs) itinerant-electron
magnets, with nonequilibrium drive provided by current flow across the system. Both …

Low-temperature phase transitions and the associated quantum critical points are a major
field of research, but one in which experimental information about thermodynamics is …

Pair creation in a uniform classical electromagnetic field (Schwinger mechanism) is studied
focusing on the time evolution of the distribution of created particles. The time evolution of …

It is well known that a Rindler observer measures a nontrivial energy flux, resulting in a
thermal description in an otherwise Minkowski vacuum. For systems consisting of large …

We present a unified view of electric transport in undoped graphene for finite electric field.
The weak field results agree with the Kubo approach. For strong electric field, the current …

Since the 1960s a deep and surprising connection has followed the development of
superconductivity and quantum field theory. The Anderson-Higgs mechanism and the …

A spin strongly driven by two harmonic incommensurate drives can pump energy from one
drive to the other at a quantized average rate, in close analogy with the quantum Hall effect …
