Chaos of Chiral Condensate

Overview

Assigning a chaos index for vacua of generic quantum field theories is a challenging problem. In this talk, the speaker will present the chaotic behavior of chiral condensates of a quantum gauge theory at strong coupling limit, which was found by using the AdS/CFT correspondence. This serves as an example of a quantum butterfly effect. He will also discuss the possible implication of the results.

This talk is a work in collaboration with Keiju Murata and Kentaroh Yoshida (Reference: https://arxiv.org/abs/1605.08124).
