We study the spread of Renyi entropy between two halves of a Sachdev-Ye-Kitaev (SYK) chain of Majorana fermions, prepared in a thermo field double (TFD) state. The SYK chain model is a model of chaotic many-body systems, which describes a one-dimensional lattice of Majorana fermions, with spatially local random quartic interaction. We find that for integer Renyi index n > 1, the Renyi entanglement entropy saturates at a parametrically smaller value than expected. This implies that the TFD state of the SYK chain does not rapidly thermalize, despite being maximally chaotic: instead, it rapidly approaches a prethermal state. We compare our results to the signatures of thermalization observed in other quenches in the SYK model, and to intuition from nearly-AdS 2 gravity.

An obstacle to sub-AdS holography for SYK-like models

Pengfei Zhang, Yingfei Gu, Alexei Kitaev

Summary: In this study, stringy effects in a potential gravity-dual picture for SYK-like models are related to the branching time, which is a kinetic coefficient defined by the retarded kernel. A bound on the branching time is proposed when assuming the leading diagrams are ladders with thin rungs, suggesting that such models are unlikely candidates for sub-AdS holography. Additionally, in the weak coupling limit, a relationship between the branching time, Lyapunov exponent, and quasiparticle lifetime is derived using two different approximations.

Floquet conformal field theories with generally deformed Hamiltonians

Ruihua Fan, Yingfei Gu, Ashvin Vishwanath, Xueda Wen

Summary: In this work, we investigate non-equilibrium dynamics in Floquet conformal field theories in 1+1D, exploring a generalized case involving the full Virasoro algebra. The phase diagram is determined by the stroboscopic trajectories of operator evolution, showing heating/non-heating phases based on the presence/absence of spatial fixed points. The heating regime is further divided into multiple phases with different entanglement patterns and energy-momentum density distributions, characterized by the number of spatial fixed points, with phase transitions between these phases achieved by altering the duration of the driving Hamiltonian.

A two-way approach to out-of-time-order correlators

Yingfei Gu, Alexei Kitaev, Pengfei Zhang

Summary: Out-of-time-order correlators (OTOCs) are a standard measure of quantum chaos. In this study, we demonstrate how to obtain the OTOC by combining two solutions for perturbations propagating forward and backward in time. We also provide a closed form expression for the OTOC in the large-q SYK model and prove a conjectured relationship between the Lyapunov exponent and high-frequency behavior of the spectral function.

Periodically, quasi-periodically, and randomly driven conformal field theories (II): Furstenberg's theorem and exceptions to heating phases

Xueda Wen, Yingfei Gu, Ashvin Vishwanath, Ruihua Fan

Summary: In this study, we investigate the properties of randomly driven (1 + 1) dimensional conformal field theories (CFTs), revealing the characteristics of non-equilibrium dynamical phases, including the heating phase and exceptional points. In most cases, random drivings lead to exponential growth of total energy and linear growth of subsystem entanglement entropy. However, at exceptional points, the subsystem entanglement entropy may grow as the square root of the number of driving steps, while the total energy still grows exponentially. Furthermore, we distinguish the heating phase from exceptional points by analyzing the distributions of operator evolution and energy density peaks.

Periodically, quasiperiodically, and randomly driven conformal field theories

Xueda Wen, Ruihua Fan, Ashvin Vishwanath, Yingfei Gu

Summary: In this paper, nonequilibrium dynamics in driven (1 + 1)-dimensional conformal field theories with periodic, quasiperiodic, and random driving are studied. The focus is on the general framework, periodicity, and nonheating phases in quasiperiodically driven CFTs, especially using a Fibonacci sequence for driving. The results show remarkable agreement with lattice calculations and provide insights into the energy evolution and characteristics of spatial structures in the systems.
