Non-Equilibrium Dynamics of the SYK<sub>q=∞</sub> Model

ORAL

Abstract

The Sachdev-Ye-Kitaev model is a paradigm for quantum many-body systems without a quasiparticle description. Its non-equilibrium dynamics after a quench was investigated in Ref. [1], where certain quenches to the q=∞ model could even be solved analytically. In this talk these analytical results are extended to arbitrary quenches to the q=∞ SYK model. Remarkably one always finds instant thermalization.
