We derive in detail several universal features in the time evolution of entanglement entropy and other nonlocal observables in quenched holographic systems. The quenches are such that a spatially uniform density of energy is injected at an instant in time, exciting a strongly coupled CFT which eventually equilibrates. Such quench processes are described on the gravity side by the gravitational collapse of a thin shell that results in a black hole. Various nonlocal observables have a unified description in terms of the area of extremal surfaces of different dimensions. In the large distance limit, the evolution of an extremal surface, and thus the corresponding boundary observable, is controlled by the geometry around and inside the event horizon of the black hole, allowing us to identify regimes of pre-local- equilibration quadratic growth, post-local-equilibration linear growth, a memory loss regime, and a saturation regime with behavior resembling those in phase transitions. We also discuss possible bounds on the maximal rate of entanglement growth in relativistic systems.

  1. Timelike Holographic Complexity

    hep-th 2025-10 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    Timelike subregion complexity within the holographic Complexity=Volume conjecture is computed for pure AdS and AdS black branes; it is purely real and shares the spacelike UV divergence structure.

  2. Entanglement production in the Sachdev-Ye-Kitaev Model and its variants

    quant-ph 2025-07 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    Entanglement production rates distinguish the spin-SYK model from fermionic SYK and binary SYK, and the differences only become visible at larger system sizes.

  3. Multi-entropy in heavy local quenches

    hep-th 2026-06 unverdicted novelty 5.0 of 10

    Genuine multi-entropy in heavy local quenches in 2D holographic CFTs is kinematically fixed to logarithms of rational functions of time, independent of heavy operator dimension, due to global saddle selection in the g...

  4. Charged Black Hole with String Cloud Deformation: Entanglement and Chaos

    hep-th 2025-07 conditional novelty 4.0 of 10

    In a charged AdS black hole with a string cloud, entanglement entropy and entanglement wedge cross-section increase with charge and backreaction, while mutual information and butterfly velocity decrease with charge.
