In this paper, the authors compute the time-dependent entanglement entropy of a CFT which starts in relatively simple initial states, and match the bulk and boundary computations of the entropy in the case of a two-dimensional CFT.Abstract:
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, dual to eternal black holes, and a particular pure state, dual to a black hole formed by gravitational collapse. The entanglement entropy grows linearly in time. This linear growth is directly related to the growth of the black hole interior measured along “nice” spatial slices. These nice slices probe the spacelike direction in the interior, at a fixed special value of the interior time. In the case of a two-dimensional CFT, we match the bulk and boundary computations of the entanglement entropy. We briefly discuss the long time behavior of various correlators, computed via classical geodesics or surfaces, and point out that their exponential decay comes about for similar reasons. We also present the time evolution of the wavefunction in the tensor network description.read more

Black holes and the butterfly effect
TL;DR: In this article, the authors used holography to study sensitive dependence on initial conditions in strongly coupled field theories and showed that the effect of the early infalling quanta relative to the t = 0 slice creates a shock wave that destroys the local two-sided correlations present in the unperturbed state.

Cool horizons for entangled black holes

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors show that the EPR pair can be interpreted as maximally entangled states of two black holes, and they suggest that similar bridges might be present for more general entangled states.

Generalized gravitational entropy
Aitor Lewkowycz,Juan Maldacena +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors considered the problem of computing the trace of a density matrix in the full quantum gravity theory, in the classical approximation, and showed that the entropy of this density matrix is given by the area of a minimal surface.

Holographic Complexity Equals Bulk Action
TL;DR: The hypothesis that black holes are the fastest computers in nature is discussed and the conjecture that the quantum complexity of a holographic state is dual to the action of a certain spacetime region that is called a Wheeler-DeWitt patch is illustrated.
Journal ArticleDOI
Complexity and Shock Wave Geometries
TL;DR: In this paper, a conjecture relating the time-dependent size of an Einstein-Rosen bridge (ERB) to the computational complexity of the dual quantum state has been refined, and the complexity is proportional to the spatial volume of the ERB.

TL;DR: It is argued that the entanglement entropy in d + 1 dimensional conformal field theories can be obtained from the area of d dimensional minimal surfaces in AdS(d+2), analogous to the Bekenstein-Hawking formula for black hole entropy.

TL;DR: The standard Einstein-Maxwell equations in 2+1 spacetime dimensions, with a negative cosmological constant, admit a black hole solution that appears as a negative energy state separated by a mass gap from the continuous black hole spectrum.

Entanglement entropy and quantum field theory

TL;DR: In this article, a systematic study of entanglement entropy in relativistic quantum field theory is carried out, where the von Neumann entropy is defined as the reduced density matrix ρA of a subsystem A of a 1+1-dimensional critical system, whose continuum limit is a conformal field theory with central charge c, and the results are verified for a free massive field theory.
