We investigate the periodically driven dynamics of many-body systems, either classical or quantum, finite-dimensional or mean-field, displaying an unbounded phase-space. Using the lattice $\phi^4$ model and the $p$-spin spherical model as…

Prethermalization has been extensively studied in systems close to integrability. We propose a more general, yet conceptually simpler, setup for this phenomenon. We consider a---possibly nonintegrable---reference dynamics, weakly perturbed…

Quantum simulators have recently enabled experimental observations of quantum many-body systems' internal thermalization. Often, the global energy and particle number are conserved, and the system is prepared with a well-defined particle…

We show that a collection of independent Ising spins evolving stochastically can display surprisingly large fluctuations towards ordered behaviour, as quantified by certain types of time-integrated plaquette observables, despite the…

High-fidelity quantum logic operations in trapped ions often require the ions' collective motion to be cooled to near the ground state. Since cooling the ions' motion typically involves dissipative processes such as spontaneous photon…

Thermalization in open systems coupled to macroscopic environments is usually analyzed from the perspective of relaxation of the reduced state of the system to the equilibrium state. Less emphasis is given to the change of the state of the…

The eigenstate thermalization hypothesis (ETH) is a successful theory that establishes the criteria for ergodicity and thermalization in isolated quantum many-body systems. In this work, we investigate the thermalization properties of…

The phenomenon of Hilbert space fragmentation, whereby dynamical constraints fragment Hilbert space into many disconnected sectors, provides a simple mechanism by which thermalization can be arrested. However, little is known about how…
