Abstract:
Distinguishing genuine quantum correlation (entanglement) from spurious
statistical one in out-of-equilibrium open quantum many-body systems is in
general a challenging task. In this talk I will review some recent efforts to
describe the entanglement dynamics in the presence of Markovian dissipation. In
particular, I will focus on free-fermion and free-bosons subjected to global
linear dissipation as well as to localized one. I will show that, at least for
free systems, it is possible to incorporate the effects of dissipation in a
hydrodynamic description for the entanglement spreading (quasiparticle
picture).
