We investigate the dynamics of entanglement asymmetry in periodically driven two-dimensional conformal field theories with a global U$(1)$ symmetry, using a dynamical-system description based on iterated conformal maps, in particular M\"obius maps. Starting from a symmetry-breaking excited state prepared by a local operator insertion, we show that a broad range of nonequilibrium phenomena, including local symmetry restoration, the quantum Mpemba effect, and its inverse, admit a simple geometric description in terms of the invariant data of the conformal map. We explicitly demonstrate this using M\"obius maps, for which the invariant structure is described by the conjugacy classes. In particular, the dynamics of entanglement asymmetry is determined by the relative positions of the state-preparing operator insertion, the subsystem, and the fixed points, yielding distinct patterns of growth, decay, oscillation, and saturation. We further argue that this geometric picture extends to general holomorphic maps, establishing the conformal-map dynamics as a natural framework for organizing the phenomenology of entanglement asymmetry in periodically driven two-dimensional conformal field theories.
The modular Hamiltonian plays an important role in quantum information theory, quantum field theory, and the AdS/CFT correspondence. In this paper, we study a specific dynamical setup: starting from the tensor product of the reduced density matrices of a reference state, we evolve this product state under the modular f...
The quantum Mpemba effect is the counterintuitive phenomenon whereby a quantum state initially farther from equilibrium relaxes faster than one initially closer to it. We demonstrate this effect in random Clifford circuits with a conserved $\mathrm{U}(1)$ charge, using the entanglement asymmetry to characterize relaxat...

The quasienergy spectrum of a strongly driven two-level system as a function of the driving parameters exhibits conical intersections, which are enabled by hidden time-nonlocal symmetries. We show that each such crossing carries a quantized topological charge: the Floquet--Berry phase acquired along an adiabatic loop a...
Entanglement asymmetry, introduced by F. Ares, S. Murciano and P. Calabrese, provides a density-matrix diagnostic of symmetry breaking and successfully captures the Landau data associated with a broken symmetry pattern. However, it is by now well established that gapped quantum many-body systems can exhibit phases whic...
We study the dynamics of the cumulants of the entanglement Hamiltonian in interacting integrable models following global quantum quenches. Building on recent results based on space-time duality, we show that these cumulants are exactly given by the cumulants of currents of suitable conserved charges evaluated in the ma...
The quantum Rabi model occupies a distinguished role in the study of quantum light and matter, describing the most fundamental interactions. Elucidation of its spectral properties, along with those of its generalizations, is necessary for quantum optics and applications in areas such as quantum information technologies...
