Writing the entanglement-geometry dictionary with quantum quenches and tensor networks

By examining tensor network representations of quantum states, it is possible to learn much about the entanglement structure of those states and about connections between various quantum and/or conformal field theories and relevant geometries. Building upon our previous work developing algorithms which generate tensor networks capturing important aspects of these dualities, we investigate other important aspects of the AdS/CFT correspondence. Performing global quenches on both pure and mixed states, we make contact with results for thermalization and the spread of entanglement in holographic systems.
