abstract

The mutual and tripartite information between pairs and triples of disjoint regions in a quantum field theory are sensitive probes of the spread of correlations in an equilibrating system. We compute these quantities in strongly coupled two-dimensional conformal field theories with a gravity dual following the homogenous deposition of energy. The injected energy is modeled in anti-de Sitter space as an infalling shell, and the information shared by disjoint intervals is computed in terms of geodesic lengths in this background. For given widths and separation of the intervals, the mutual information typically starts at its vacuum value, then increases in time to reach a maximum, and then declines to the value at thermal equilibrium. A simple causality argument qualitatively explains this behavior. The tripartite information is generically non-zero and time-dependent throughout the process. This contrasts with (but does not contradict) the time-independent tripartite information one finds after a two-dimensional quantum quench in the limit of large time and distance scales compared to the initial inverse mass gap.

Complexity Inequalities for Quantum Subsystems

hep-th · 2026-06-18 · unverdicted · novelty 7.0 · 2 refs

Defines tripartite complexity and complexity gap for three-subsystem states and reports that the gap has definite sign across holographic CV, Fisher-Rao, and Krylov measures, suggesting it as a building block for complexity inequalities.

Constraints on four-party entanglement in holography

hep-th · 2026-05-29 · unverdicted · novelty 5.0 · 2 refs

In time-reflection-symmetric holographic states, I3 implies vanishing of multiple four-party entanglement measures and bounds those from multi-entropy, though Q4 is not quantitatively bounded by I3.

Entanglement inequalities for timelike intervals within dynamical holography

hep-th · 2026-04-13 · unverdicted · novelty 5.0

Timelike mutual information is positive and weak monotonicity holds for non-overlapping timelike subregions in AdS3-Vaidya holography, but the timelike strong subadditivity is violated for overlapping intervals while Araki-Lieb and subadditivity hold.
