Thermalization and its breakdown in interacting quantum many-body systems are governed by mid-spectrum eigenstates, which are typically accessible only in small system sizes amenable to exact diagonalization. Here we demonstrate that the…
A strongly non-integrable system is expected to satisfy the eigenstate thermalization hypothesis, which states that the expectation value of an observable in an energy eigenstate is the same as the thermal value. This must be revised if the…
