• Authors: Madhumita Saha, Manas Kulkarni and Abhishek Dhar
• Abstract summary: We study the evolution of entanglement entropy during evaporation of a black hole. We find that the growth of entanglement is linear and universal, i.e. independent of the details of the defect. Our study shows the power of the semiclassical approach and could be relevant for discussions on the resolution of the black hole information paradox.

• Abstract: We consider an analytically tractable model that exhibits the main features of the Page curve characterizing the evolution of entanglement entropy during evaporation of a black hole. Our model is a gas of non-interacting fermions on a lattice that is released from a box into the vacuum. More precisely, our Hamiltonian is a tight-binding model with a defect at the junction between the filled box and the vacuum. In addition to the entanglement entropy we consider several other observables, such as the spatial density profile and current, and show that the semiclassical approach of generalized hydrodynamics provides a remarkably accurate description of the quantum dynamics including that of the entanglement entropy at all times. Our hydrodynamic results agree closely with those obtained via exact microscopic numerics. We find that the growth of entanglement is linear and universal, i.e, independent of the details of the defect. The decay shows $1/t$ scaling for conformal defect while for non-conformal defects, it is slower. Our study shows the power of the semiclassical approach and could be relevant for discussions on the resolution of the black hole information paradox.

  We analytically derive the modified Langevin noise formalism from the established canonical quantization of the electromagnetic field in macroscopic media. We prove that each of the two field parts can be expressed in term of particular bosonic operators, which in turn diagonalize the electromagnetic Hamiltonian.

  We discuss the onset of quantum chaos and thermalization in the two-mode Dicke model. The two-mode Dicke model exhibits normal to superradiant quantum phase transition. We show that the temporal fluctuations of the expectation value of the collective spin observable around its average are small and decrease with the effective system size.

  We compute the geometric phases acquired in both unitary and dissipative Jaynes-Cummings models. In the dissipative model, the non-unitary effects arise from the outflow of photons through the cavity walls. We show the geometric phase is robust, exhibiting a vanishing correction under a non-unitary evolution.

The free nature of the TG gas allows for more accurate results on the numerical side, where a higher number of particles as compared to the interacting case can be simulated.

  The eigenstate thermalization hypothesis (ETH) offers a universal mechanism for the approach to equilibrium of closed quantum many-body systems. Here, we propose a theory-independent route to probe the full ETH in quantum simulators by observing the emergence of fluctuation-dissipation relations. Our work presents a theory-independent way to characterize thermalization in quantum simulators and paves the way to quantum simulate condensed matter pump-probe experiments.

• The nonlinear semiclassical dynamics of the unbalanced, open Dicke model [0.0]
  The Dicke model exhibits a quantum phase transition to a state in which the atoms collectively emit light into the cavity mode, known as superradiance. We study this system in the semiclassical (mean field) limit, neglecting the role of quantum fluctuations. We find that a flip of the collective spin can result in the sudden emergence of chaotic dynamics.
