abstract
Analytic continuations of holographic entanglement entropy in which the boundary subregion extends along a timelike direction have brought a promise of a novel, time-centric probe of the emergence of spacetime. We propose that the bulk carriers of this holographic timelike entanglement entropy are boundary-anchored extremal surfaces probing analytic continuation of holographic spacetimes into complex coordinates. This proposal not only provides a geometric interpretation of all the known cases obtained by direct analytic continuation of closed-form expressions of holographic entanglement entropy of a strip subregion but crucially also opens a window to study holographic timelike entanglement entropy in full generality. We initialize the investigation of complex extremal surfaces anchored on a timelike strip at the boundary of anti-de Sitter black branes. We find multiple complex extremal surfaces and discuss possible principles singling out the physical contribution.

Boundary-CFT scaling dimensions and central charge can be reconstructed from the system-size dependence and phase of Loschmidt echoes after a critical quench, bypassing ground-state preparation.
Generic ergodic Hamiltonian dynamics in quantum Ising chains exhibits a long mesoscopic regime in temporal entanglement that deviates from random-circuit universality, suggesting slow spectral reorganization of the influence functional.
