• Abstract: We study non-equilibrium processes in (1+1)-dimensional conformal field theory (CFT) after quantum quenches starting from the thermal equilibrium (Gibbs) state. Our quench protocol uses spatially inhomogeneous Hamiltonians, the Mobius and sine-square-deformed (SSD) Hamiltonians. After a quench by the Mobius Hamiltonian, physical quantities such as von Neumann entropy for subsystems exhibit periodic oscillations (quantum revival). On the other hand, there is no quantum revival after a quench using the SSD Hamiltonian. Instead, almost all the degrees of freedom of the system are asymptotically gathered at a single point, the fixed point of the SSD Hamiltonian. This results in a point-like excitation that carries as much information as the total thermal entropy -- like a black hole. We call this excitation a black-hole-like excitation. In contrast, parts of the system other than the fixed point approach the low-entropy (low-temperature) state at late times, and the reduced density matrix is given effectively by that of the ground state. When the CFT admits a holographic dual description, these quenches induce inhomogeneous deformations of the black hole in the bulk. In particular, after the quench by the SSD Hamiltonian, at late enough times, the horizon of the bulk black hole asymptotically "touches" the boundary. We also propose and demonstrate that our quench setups can be used to simulate the formation and evaporation processes of black holes, and create low-temperature states.

  We will start from the boundary and thermofield double states, evolve the systems in Euclidean time with the Hamiltonian on the curved background, and then evolve them in real-time with the same Hamiltonian. We found that the early- and late-time entanglement structure depends on the curved background, while the entanglement growth does not, and is linear. In the gravity dual for the thermofield double state, this entanglement growth is due to the linear growth of the wormhole, while in the one for the boundary state, it is due to the in-falling of the end of the world brane to the
