Abstract: | Quantum circuits are discrete-time models for many-body dynamics. They have a minimal amount of structure, making them a useful starting point for studying the out-of-equilibrium evolution of entanglement and correlations. Circuits are also a natural setting for defining broader classes of dynamics that involve measurement and feedback operations. In this talk I will define what random quantum circuits are, sketch one of the basic structures allowing analytical calculations, and describe an entanglement phase transition induced by repeated quantum measurement. |

Abstract: | Studying the lightcone limit of CFT correlation functions has been one of the leading methods to analyse the crossing symmetry analytically. In a CFT with a twist gap, a 4-point function of identical scalars leads to interesting predictions of the existence of families of infinite double-twist operators and their OPE data. However a complete knowledge of the CFT spectrum is only accessible from bootstrapping correlators with non-identical external operators with arbitrary spin, which is in general a difficult problem. Alternatively one can look at correlators of more than four identical scalars which, via OPE, captures the same information. I will discuss how to systematically set up the lightcone bootstrap for 5- and 6-point functions of identical scalars. |

Abstract: | Recent advances indicate that a 3d gravity partition function may be dual not to a single CFT but to an average over an ensemble of CFTs. In my talk I will discuss an explicit ensemble of CFTs deriving from classical binary error-correcting codes. Such codes have been studied and classified by discrete mathematicians for decades and give rise to chiral CFTs via a lattice construction. By this construction, the average over the ensemble of error-correcting codes translates to an average over CFTs with enhanced SU(2)^c symmetry. The averaged partition function shows some gravitational features and matches with a Poincaré sum corresponding to a sum over bulk geometries. |

Abstract: | The amplitude/Wilson loop correspondence identifies planar N=4 super-Yang-Mills amplitudes with certain null polygonal Wilson loops at all the values of the coupling. At strong coupling the Wilson loop was computed by Alday & Maldacena in terms of the area of a minimal surface in AdS5. To do so they developed a `Y- system' for computing the amplitude. This talk re-interprets their construction as provding the underlying twistor space for a hyperKahler structure on the corresponding space of kinematic data. This geometry encodes the amplitude in terms of solutions to well known integrable differential equations. An as yet unfulfilled aspiration is to extend these ideas beyond strong coupling using formal similarities with other approaches. |
