We study the Lindbladian dynamics of the Sachdev-Ye-Kitaev (SYK) model, where the SYK model is coupled to Markovian reservoirs with jump operators that are either linear or quadratic in the Majorana fermion operators. Here, the linear jump…

Sachdev-Ye-Kitaev (SYK) is a concrete solvable model with non-Fermi liquid behavior and maximal chaos. In this work, we study the entanglement R\'enyi entropy for the subsystems of the SYK model in the Kourkoulou-Maldacena states. We use…

We study the SYK$_4$ model with a weak SYK$_2$ term of magnitude $\Gamma$ beyond the simplest perturbative limit considered previously. For intermediate values of the perturbation strength, $J/N \ll \Gamma \ll J/\sqrt{N}$, fluctuations of…
