We extend our work on entanglement propagation following a local quench in 2+1 dimensional holographic conformal field theories. We find that entanglement propagates along an emergent lightcone, whose speed of propagation $v_E$ seems…

The maximum speed with which information can propagate in a quantum many-body system directly affects how quickly disparate parts of the system can become correlated and how difficult the system will be to describe numerically. For systems…
We considered a long-range Ising model under Glauber dynamics and calculated the difference from the mean-field approximation in a finite-size system using perturbation theory. To deal with the BBGKY hierarchy, we assumed that certain types…
We investigate linear cosmological perturbations in multiple field inflationary models where some of the directions are light while others are heavy (with respect to the Hubble parameter). By integrating out the massive degrees of freedom,…
In locally interacting quantum many-body systems, the velocity of information propagation is finitely bounded and a linear light cone can be defined. Outside the light cone, the amount of information rapidly decays with distance. When…
In this investigation the light propagation in the gravitational field of one arbitrarily moving body with monopole structure is considered in the second post-Newtonian approximation. It is found that the light trajectory depends on the…
Working on the approximation of low frequency, we present the light cone conditions for a class of theories constructed with the two gauge invariants of the Maxwell field without making use of average over polarization states. Different…
Light-cone perturbation theory is a powerful tool for calculating high-energy scattering amplitudes, particularly for quantum particles such as electrons, photons, or protons scattering off heavy nuclei, a process analogous to potential…
We theoretically study the propagation of light in one-dimensional space- and time-dependent disorder. The disorder is described by a fluctuating permittivity $\epsilon(x,t)$ exhibiting short-range correlations in space and time, without…
The Lieb-Robinson correlation function is the norm of a commutator between local operators acting on separate subsystems at different times. This provides a useful state-independent measure for characterizing the specifically quantum…
We consider the random transverse-field Ising model in $d=3$ dimensions with long-range ferromagnetic interactions which decay as a power $\alpha > d$ with the distance. Using a variant of the strong disorder renormalization group method we…
We study the dynamics of fast two-beam collisions in linear optical media with weak cubic loss in spatial dimension higher than 1. For this purpose, we extend the perturbation theory that was developed for analyzing two-pulse collisions in…
As in the preceding paper we aim at identifying the effective theory that describes the fluctuations of the local overlap with an equilibrium reference configuration close to a putative thermodynamic glass transition. We focus here on the…
A supersymmetric field theory of light diffusion in semi-infinite disordered media is presented. With the help of this technique we justify--at the perturbative level--the local light diffusion proposed by Tiggelen, Lagendijk, and Wiersma…
The effect of finite control beam on the transverse spatial profile of the slow light propagation in an electromagnetically induced transparency medium is studied. We arrive at a general criterion in terms of eigenequation, and demonstrate…
Light-cone-like propagation of information is a universal phenomenon of nonequilibrium dynamics of integrable spin systems. In this paper, we investigate propagation of a local impact in the one-dimensional $XY$ model with the anisotropy…
We study the propagation of light in the Born-Infeld (BI) background as seen by an accelerated observer. In a Born-Infeld electromagnetic field, light trajectories are governed by the null geodesics of the effective optical metric. The…
We study the generation and propagation of local perturbations in a quantum many-body spin system. In particular, we study the Ising model in transverse field in the presence of a local field defect at one edge. This system possesses a rich…
We consider the non-equilibrium time evolution of a translationally invariant state under a Hamiltonian with a localized defect. We discern the situations where a light-cone spreads out from the defect and separates the system into regions…
