We will discuss non-equilibrium dynamics of 2d conformal field theories probed by the time-dependence of entanglement negativity and reflected entropy after quantum quench of various kinds. We will contrast two paradigmatic pictures -- quasi-particle and membrane pictures -- that can describe the time-evolutions of these quantities depending on whether the underlying dynamics is non-chaotic or chaotic. While the propagation of quantum entanglement in rational CFTs is described by the quasi-particle pictures, that in holographic CFTs is described by the membrane picture.

This meeting is being hosted by a zoom meeting platform.  To get the information, please eamil Janice at jbenner@illinois.edu
