Abstract

This thesis presents a series of studies on the evolution and out-ofequilibrium dynamics of strongly coupled quantum eld theories by means of the AdS/CFT correspondence. We use a handful of analytic and semianalytic techniques to investigate the response of the system due to dierent types of perturbations, some of them leading to thermalization, cooling down or coherent oscillations of the quantum elds. We characterize the processes by studying the evolution of non-local observables such as two-point functions, Wilson loops and entanglement entropy. Our results may be relevant to heavyion collision and condensed matter physics experiments
