Bridging two quantum quench problems -- local joining quantum quench and M\"obius quench -- and their holographic dual descriptions
arXiv (Cornell University)(2023)
摘要
We establish an equivalence between two different quantum quench problems, the joining local quantum quench and the M\"obius quench, in the context of $(1+1)$-dimensional conformal field theory (CFT). Here, in the former, two initially decoupled systems (CFTs) on finite intervals are joined at $t=0$. In the latter, we consider the system that is initially prepared in the ground state of the regular homogeneous Hamiltonian on a finite interval and, after $t=0$, let it time-evolve by the so-called M\"obius Hamiltonian that is spatially inhomogeneous. The equivalence allows us to relate the time-dependent physical observables in one of these problems to those in the other. As an application of the equivalence, we construct a holographic dual of the M\"obius quench from that of the local quantum quench. The holographic geometry involves an end-of-the-world brane whose profile exhibits non-trivial dynamics.
