Universal aspects of quenches in quantum theories

Diptarka Das

IIT Kanpur

The colloquium will review various non-equilibrium aspects that emerge in a time-dependent many body quantum system. We will look at universal scalings in certain simple field theories. We shall discuss the interplay of these scalings with
thermalization and symmetry. Thereafter we shall look at the effects of quenches in scrambling.
