DESCRIPTION:Past decades have revealed the crucial role played by the enta
 nglement structure of quantum states in explaining both phases of matter a
 nd thermalization—the emergence of statistical physics from unitary time
  evolution. Yet our understanding of entanglement in relativistic field th
 eories remains limited\, largely confined to conformal and holographic set
 tings.\n \nAt the same time\, we don't have a clear picture of how our un
 iverse actually reached thermal equilibrium after inflation. We do not und
 erstand why the quark-gluon plasma produced in heavy-ion collisions therma
 lizes so fast\, or what the actual phase diagram of QCD is.\n \nIn this t
 alk\, I illustrate how progress can be made in filling this gap starting f
 rom the study of one-dimensional relativistic field theories. I present re
 sults on the real-time dynamics of the massive Schwinger model\, which sha
 res key features with QCD. In this setup\, the medium created by hard back
 -to-back particles thermalizes through entanglement production. I then mov
 e on to discuss how a refined understanding of entanglement in relation to
  symmetries can serve as a practical tool for detecting and characterizing
  different phases of matter. Indeed\, the so-called "entanglement asymmetr
 y" related to the chiral symmetry in the Schwinger model can be computed a
 nalytically in the massless limit\, as a function of temperature. Remarkab
 ly\, it is parametrically more sensitive to symmetry breaking than the cor
 responding local order parameter\, the chiral condensate.\n\nhttps://indic
