Abstract

We consider a holographic model of the heating up process. As a dual background we take a geometry describing thin shell accretion on a black brane. We find explicitly the time evolution of the mutual information during the non-equlibrium heating process from the initial temperature TiT_i to the final temperature TfT_f for the system of two intervals in the 1+1 dimensional case. We calculate widths and separation of twointervals for which the time dependence of the mutual information has the bell-like form, i.e. it starts from zero value at the wake up time, then reaches a maximal value and vanishes at the scrambling time. This form of the mutual information evolution was previously found in photosynthesis. The zone of the bell-like configurations exists for small distances x<log2/2πTix<\log 2/2\pi T_i only for the particular interval sizes. For xx large enough, i.e. x>>log2/2πTix>>\log 2/2\pi T_i, it exists only for large enough interval sizes and this zone becomes more narrow when TiT_i increases and becomes larger with increasing of TfT_f.
