In this Letter we pose the question of whether a many-body quantum system with a full set of conserved quantities can relax to an equilibrium state, and, if it can, what the properties of such state are. We confirm the relaxation hypothesis…

In this paper we measure the two-body relaxation time from the angular deflection of test particles launched in a rigid configuration of field particles. We find that centrally concentrated configurations have relaxation times that can be…
Master equations are typically adopted to describe the dynamics of open quantum systems. Such equations are either in integro-differential or in time-local form, with the latter class more frequently adopted due to the simpler numerical…
One of the general mechanisms that give rise to the slow cooperative relaxation characteristic of classical glasses is the presence of kinetic constraints in the dynamics. Here we show that dynamical constraints can similarly lead to slow…

We present a new class of component-wise numerical schemes that are in the family of relaxation formulations, originally introduced by [S. Jin and Z. P. Xin, Comm. Pure Appl. Math., 48(1995), pp. 235-277]. The relaxation framework enables…

This article is concerned with the time evolution of a $\frac{1}{2}$-spin particle in a constant external magnetic field with the quantized electromagnetic field (photons). We derive a Lindblad (or GKLS) type approximation of the spin…
We present a generalised time scale for quantum chaos dynamics, motivated by nonextensive statistical mechanics. It recovers, as particular cases, the relaxation (Heisenberg) and the random (Ehrenfest) time scales. Moreover, we show that…
We explore the relaxation dynamics of quantum many-body systems that undergo purely dissipative dynamics through non-classical jump operators that can establish quantum coherence. Our goal is to shed light on the differences in the…
It is well known that the state operator of an open quantum system can be generically represented as the solution of a time-local equation -- a quantum master equation. Unraveling in quantum trajectories offers a picture of open system…
We investigate cosmological constraints on the original relaxion scenario proposed by Graham, Kaplan and Rajendran. We first discuss the appropriate sign choice of the terms in the scalar potential, when the QCD axion is the relaxion with a…
