Quantum circuits—built from local unitary gates and local measurements—are a new
playground for quantum many-body physics and a tractable setting to explore universal …

Entropy production is a key quantity in any finite-time thermodynamic process. It is intimately
tied with the fundamental laws of thermodynamics, embodying a tool to extend …

Quantum computing promises to offer substantial speed-ups over its classical counterpart for
certain problems. However, the greatest impediment to realizing its full potential is noise that …

Quantum many-body systems subjected to unitary evolution with the addition of interspersed
measurements exhibit a variety of dynamical phases that do not occur under pure unitary …

Statistical mechanics relies on the maximization of entropy in a system at thermal
equilibrium. However, an isolated quantum many-body system initialized in a pure state …

Recent years have seen remarkable development in open quantum systems effectively
described by non-Hermitian Hamiltonians. A unique feature of non-Hermitian topological …

This Colloquium gives an overview of recent theoretical and experimental progress in the
area of nonequilibrium dynamics of isolated quantum systems. There is particularly a focus …

How do closed quantum many-body systems driven out of equilibrium eventually achieve
equilibration? And how do these systems thermalize, given that they comprise so many …

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 …

Recent interest in aspects common to quantum information and condensed matter has
prompted a flurry of activity at the border of these disciplines that were far distant until a few …
