报告摘要

  Out-of-equilibrium states in conformal field theories (CFT) are relevant both in condensed matter and in holography. In particular, CFTs with a boundary have proven to be a useful playground to study entanglement in quantum gravity. Here, we describe the entanglement and the energy density of the radiation emitted after a local quench in a boundary CFT. We show that the early- and late-time behaviors of the entanglement entropy are controlled by a convergent operator product expansion (OPE) and are---under mild assumptions---universal. We also derive a rigorous upper bound on the entanglement, valid along the full time evolution. These CFT predictions are then compared with a doubly-holographic setup, where the CFT is interpreted as a reservoir for the radiation produced on an end-of-the-world brane. Along the way, we elucidate the holographic dictionary for boundary CFT. In the brane+bath picture, the formation of an island is responsible for preserving unitarity at late time, and the holographic computation of the entanglement entropy is explicitly reproduced by the island formula.
