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).
