Semtember 12 (Monday) 2022, 10:00-12:00 JST

Talks (Speakers & Titles):

1. Speaker: Kotaro Tamaoka (Nihon University)(slides)
   Title: Non-Equilibrating a Black Hole with Inhomogeneous Quantum Quench

Abstract: We study non-equilibrium processes in AdS/CFT induced by quantum quench using spatially inhomogeneous Hamiltonians, called the sine-square-deformed (SSD) Hamiltonians. When the CFT admits a holographic description, these quenches induce inhomogeneous deformations of the black hole in the AdS bulk. In particular, at late enough times after the quench by the SSD Hamiltonian, the horizon of the bulk black hole asymptotically "touches" the boundary. If time permits, we also discuss several implications on the boundary CFT side and possible applications to quantum many-body systems in the real experimental setup.
