Description

For a recently established holographic model of a magnetic impurity coupled to a strongly interacting system, we consider quantum quenches as well as the entanglement entropy. Both provide information about the size and formation of the Kondo cloud which screens the impurity. As a second topic, I will present recent results on universal behaviour in a family of holographic s-wave superconductors obtained by adding a scalar field to translation-breaking gravity backgrounds with Bianchi VII symmetry.
