Entanglement evolution across defects in critical anisotropic Heisenberg chains
read the original abstract
We study the out-of-equilibrium time evolution after a local quench connecting two anisotropic spin-1/2 XXZ Heisenberg open chains via an impurity bond. The dynamics is obtained by means of the adaptive time-dependent density-matrix renormalization group. We show that the entanglement entropies (Von Neumann and R\'enyi), in the presence of a weakened bond depend on the sign of the bulk interaction. For attractive interaction (\Delta< 0), the defect turns out to be irrelevant and the evolution is asymptotically equivalent to the one without defect obtained by conformal field theory. For repulsive interaction (\Delta>0), the defect is relevant and the entanglement saturates to a finite value. This out-of-equilibrium behavior generalizes the well known results for the ground-state entanglement entropy of the model.

Boundary quenches in (1+1)-dimensional conformal field theory
A boundary quench in a (1+1)-d CFT makes one-point functions switch from old to new ground state across a light cone and makes adjacent-region entanglement jump by log(g_b/g_a).
