Comment on "Foundation of Statistical Mechanics under Experimentally Realistic Conditions"

Abstract

Reimann [Phys. Rev. Lett. 101, 190403 (2008)] claimed that generic isolated macroscopic quantum system will equilibrate under experimentally realistic conditions by proving a theorem. We here show that the proof is invalid for most many-body systems and is unable to demonstrate equilibration in realistic experiment.
