contents Growth of entanglement entropy in time-dependent states formed due to a global quench in holographic conformal field theories which admit an Einstein-Gauss-Bonnet dual gravity description is studied. The global quench in the bulk is modelled by an AdS Vaidya solution with an electric charge. It is observed that the Gauss-Bonnet correction parameter leads to faster thermalization, and lower saturation entropy. The rate of growth also depends crucially on the correction, and may exceed 1 in general spacetime dimensions. Nevertheless, the growth still follows the universal pattern expected for relativistic CFTs. Additionally, a time-dependent analogue of relative entropy introduced in [12] is generalized to include correction from the Gauss-Bonnet parameter. We demonstrate our findings through concrete examples, including instantaneous, linear, and periodically driven quenches. We also briefly mention the evolution of mutual information.
