These notes provide an overview of real-time techniques in quantum field theories and holography. We outline the general rationale and principles underlying the Schwinger-Keldysh formalism and its out-of-time-order generalizations. To illustrate its broad utility we frame our discussion in the language of open quantum dynamics. As a specific application we describe how such real-time observables help in understanding scrambling dynamics. We also describe the holographic prescription for computing thermal Schwinger-Keldysh observables. These notes are based on a series of lectures held during the S-Matrix Marathon workshop at the Institute for Advanced Study on 11-22 March 2024.

  1. Strongly Coupled Soft Functions

    hep-ph 2026-08 conditional novelty 7.0 of 10

    The cusp anomalous dimension at strong coupling is obtained for all rapidity separations from two competing string saddles, and the transversely-separated two-cusp Wilson loop scales as (b_perp^2 Lambda^2)^{-Re Gamma_cusp}.

  2. Dynamical Tidal Response of Schwarzschild Black Holes

    gr-qc 2025-11 conditional novelty 7.0 of 10

    The dynamical Love numbers of a Schwarzschild black hole are nonzero at quadratic order in frequency, run logarithmically with a coefficient set by dissipation, and are now matched including their finite, scheme-depen...

  3. Higher-Dimensional Black Holes and Effective Field Theory

    hep-th 2024-12 conditional novelty 7.0 of 10

    Higher-dimensional spinning black holes generally have nonzero scalar tidal Love numbers, with patterns of zeroes in special limits, computed via point-particle EFT matching.

  4. Hot wormholes and chaos dynamics in a two-coupled SYK model

    hep-th 2025-01 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    First numerical Lyapunov exponents for the unstable hot wormhole phase of the two-coupled SYK model, obtained via cooling and periodic-driving protocols.

  5. Holographic Schwinger-Keldysh effective field theories including a non-hydrodynamic mode

    hep-th 2024-11 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    A holographic derivation of Schwinger-Keldysh effective actions for diffusion with a non-hydrodynamic mode, yielding the Maxwell-Cattaneo action for slow modes and a new frequency-dependent action for IR modes.

  6. Effective Field Theories for Material Media

    hep-th 2026-07 accept novelty 4.0 of 10

    Spacetime-symmetry-breaking Goldstone EFTs systematically describe bulk and localized excitations of solids, fluids, and superfluids, with new thermodynamic identifications and corrected scattering rates.
