SPEAKER: Sumit R. Das (University of Kentucky)
ABSTRACT : In recent years, holographic methods have thrown valuable light on
universal scaling behavior in quantum quench involving critical
points. In particular, holography has led to new scaling laws for fast but smooth quench. This talk will discuss these results and show that scaling in fast smooth quench is a universal feature of all quantum field theories irrespective of holography. We will also discuss how these results relate to those in sudden quench.
