We study thermalization of a two-component Bose-Hubbard model by exact diagonalization. Initially the two components do not interact and are each at equilibrium but with different temperatures. As the on-site inter-component interaction is…

Real-time thermal field theory is known in the two flavors ``closed-time path formalism'' and ``thermo field dynamics''. With a certain choice of parameters the full two-point functions of these models are identical, hence a scheme to…

In analogy to Brownian computers we explicitly show how to construct stochastic models, which mimic the behaviour of a general purpose computer (a Turing machine). Our models are discrete state systems obeying a Markovian master equation,…
