We study the time evolution of the R\'enyi entanglement entropies following a quantum quench in a two-dimensional (2D) free-fermion system. By employing dimensional reduction, we effectively transform the 2D problem into decoupled chains, a…

One characterization of a chaotic system is the quick delocalization of quantum information (fast scrambling). One therefore expects that in such a system a state quickly becomes locally indistinguishable from its perturbations. In this…

The entanglement entropy of an arbitrary spacetime region $A$ in a three-dimensional conformal field theory (CFT) contains a constant universal coefficient, $F(A)$. For general theories, the value of $F(A)$ is minimized when $A$ is a round…
