April 11: Joan Simon (Edinburgh)

Time: 2pm
Place: 2N36
 
Title: Scrambling of locally perturbed thermal states
 
Abstract:
I will discuss the calculation of mutual information in 2d CFTs in the large c limit to determine the scrambling time scale at which it becomes small. Time permitting, I will make some remarks on the comparison between this approach and the calculation of out of time order correlators at finite temperature.
