Entanglement negativity and entropy in non-equilibrium conformal field theory

We study the dynamics of the entanglement in one-dimensional critical quantum systems after a local quench in which two independently thermalized semi-infinite halves are joined to form a homogeneous infinite system and left to evolve unitarily. We show that under certain conditions a nonequilibrium...
