It is expected that a generic closed many-body system prepared in a well-behaved initial state and subjected to a periodic drive will eventually thermalize, i.e. approach the state of maximal entropy. This property, while compatible with…
{Many-body quantum states at thermal equilibrium are ubiquitous in nature. Investigating their dynamical properties is a formidable task due to the complexity of the Hilbert space they live in. Quantum computers may have the potential to…
