Dynamics After Quantum Quench in Long-range Field Theories

Special JQI/QuICS Seminar

Speaker: 
Mohammad Ali Rajabpour (Fluminense Federal University, Brazil)
Time: 
Monday, June 8, 2015 - 11:00am
Location: 
PSC 2136

In this talk I will first introduce classical and quantum long-range Ising models and their field theory counterparts. I will show that in particular regimes these systems can be described with simple free non-local field theories with dispersion relation $\omega(k)=|k|^{\alpha/2}$.

Having this motivation in mind, I will first study many quantum aspects of free non-local field theories such as: the entanglement entropy, dynamics of local operators and entanglement entropy after quantum quenches. Then in particular cases I will also present some results regarding interacting field theories.
