PCTS Series “Nonequilibrium Physics with Strongly Interacting Matter and Light” presents
Mon, May 6, 2013, 2:00 pmWed, May 1, 2013, 3:00 pm
Several mean-field computations have revealed the existence of an out of equilibrium dynamical transition induced by quantum quenching an isolated system starting from its symmetry broken phase. In this talk I shall present results obtained for the quantum O(N) field theory in the large N limit by taking into account dynamical fluctuations at the…

Special PCTS Seminar - Horacio Casini, Centro Atomico Bariloche - Physical entanglement entropy: relative entropy and mutual information
Wed, Apr 24, 2013, 2:30 pm4:00 pm
I will describe general facts about entanglement entropy in QFT and discuss two different ways to get rid of the regularization ambiguities, using mutual information and relative entropy. Then i will show relative entropy gives a proof of a well defined version of the Bekenstein bound, an offer a strong test to holographic entropy. It can also be…
