We study the evolution of holographic complexity in various AdS/CFT models containing cosmological crunch singularities. We find that a notion of complexity measured by extremal bulk volumes tends to decrease as the singularity is…

The obstruction to constructing localized degrees of freedom is a signature of several interesting condensed matter phases. We introduce a localization renormalization procedure that harnesses this property, and apply our method to…

Quantum speed limits set an upper bound to the rate at which a quantum system can evolve and as such can be used to analyze the scrambling of information. To this end, we consider the survival probability of a thermofield double state under…

We study the growth of the operator entanglement entropy (EE) of the time evolution operator in chaotic, many-body localized and Floquet systems. In the random field Heisenberg model we find a universal power law growth of the operator EE…

We study the effects of including a running coupling constant in high-density QCD evolution. For fixed coupling constant, QCD evolution preserves the initial dependence of the saturation momentum $Q_s$ on the nuclear size $A$ and results in…

The topological phases of periodically-driven, or Floquet systems, rely on a perfectly periodic modulation of system parameters in time. Even the smallest deviation from periodicity leads to decoherence, causing the boundary (end) states to…
