Abstract
Isolated quantum many-body systems, if initialised in states of low entanglement, typically evolve towards states of high (volume law) entanglement. I will describe how simple minimal models for many-body dynamics — quantum circuits made up of randomly chosen gates — yield a coarse-grained description for this process of entanglement production. This description involves a minimal ‘membrane’ in spacetime. I will also describe universal results for the spreading of local perturbations (the ‘out-of-time-order correlator’) obtained from random unitary circuits.
