Title:
Computing quantum thermalization dynamics: from quantum chaos to emergent hydrodynamics

Speaker:
Ehud Altman

Abstract:
Computing the dynamics of strongly interacting quantum systems presents a fundamental challenge due to the growth of entanglement entropy in time. In the first part of the talk I will describe a new approach that overcomes this obstruction and captures chaotic dynamics and emergent hydrodynamic transport of quantum systems. Our scheme utilizes the time dependent variational principle with matrix product states to truncate "non-useful" entanglement, while retaining crucial information on local observables.
