Abstract
We study the real-time evolution of SU() Yang-Mills theory in a dimensional small lattice system after interaction quench. We numerically solve the Schr{\"o}dinger equation with the Kogut-Susskind Hamiltonian in the physical Hilbert space obtained by solving Gauss law constraints. We observe the thermalization of a Wilson loop to the canonical state; the relaxation time is insensitive to the coupling strength, and estimated as with temperatures at steady states. We also compute the vacuum persistence probability (the Loschmidt echo) to understand the relaxation from the dynamics of the wave function.
