Quantum computers have the potential to revolutionize both quantum simulations and classical computations. Rapid advancements in quantum hardware have not only introduced new opportunities but also posed significant theoretical challenges in understanding quantum dynamics. These developments highlight the need for benchmarking models—interacting many-body systems that can be solved exactly or numerically to assess the capabilities of quantum processors. In this talk, I will discuss powerful theoretical tools to address these challenges, focusing on the Sachdev–Ye–Kitaev (SYK) model and the emerging framework of entanglement in time, an information-theoretic approach designed to probe dynamical properties of quantum systems.

Alexey Milekhin received his Ph.D. from Princeton University in 2020 under the supervision of Prof. Juan Maldacena. He is working at the intersection of quantum information theory, statistical physics and quantum gravity with the goal of understanding the general properties of out-of-equilibrium systems and quantum chaos.
