It is well known that the contribution of harmonic phonons to the thermal conductivity of 1D systems diverges with the harmonic chain length $L$ (explicitly, increases with $L$ as a power-law with a positive power). Furthermore, within…
In this essay, we first sketch the development of ideas on the extraordinary dynamics of integrable classical nonlinear and quantum many body Hamiltonians. In particular, we comment on the state of mathematical techniques available for…
We study the high temperature transport behavior of the Aubry-Andr\'e-Harper (AAH) model, both in the isolated thermodynamic limit and in the open system. At the critical point of the AAH model, we find hints of super-diffusive behavior…

Nonintegrability is a necessary condition for the thermalization of a generic Hamiltonian system. In practice, the integrability can be broken in various ways. As illustrating examples, we numerically studied the thermalization behaviors of…
