Quantum entanglement growth under random unitary dynamics

A Nahum, J Ruhman, S Vijay, J Haah - Physical Review X, 2017 - APS
Characterizing how entanglement grows with time in a many-body system, for example, after
a quantum quench, is a key problem in nonequilibrium quantum physics. We study this …

Extreme value statistics of correlated random variables: a pedagogical review

SN Majumdar, A Pal, G Schehr - Physics Reports, 2020 - Elsevier
Extreme value statistics (EVS) concerns the study of the statistics of the maximum or the
