We study diagnostics of thermalization in quantum many-body systems with global SU(2) symmetry, where the standard eigenstate thermalization hypothesis (ETH) is generalized to its non-Abelian form. As an eigenstate-level probe, we introduce…

We present a detailed analysis of the connection between chaos and the onset of thermalization in the spin-boson Dicke model. This system has a well-defined classical limit with two degrees of freedom, and it presents both regular and…

Studying noncommuting conserved quantities, or 'charges,' has revealed a conceptual puzzle: noncommuting charges hinder thermalization in some ways yet promote it in others. While many quantum systems thermalize according to the Eigenstate…

We study the quantum Fisher information (QFI) and, thus, the multipartite entanglement structure of thermal pure states in the context of the Eigenstate Thermalization Hypothesis (ETH). In both the canonical ensemble and the ETH, the…

Entanglement properties of driven quantum systems can potentially differ from the equilibrium situation due to long range coherences. We confirm this observation by studying a suitable toy model for mesoscopic transport~: the open quantum…

When studying thermalization of quantum systems, it is typical to ask whether a system interacting with an environment will evolve towards a local thermal state. Here, we show that a more general and relevant question is "when does a system…

We propose a generalization of the eigenstate thermalization hypothesis accounting for the emergence of symmetry-breaking phases. It consists of two conditions that any system with a degenerate spectrum must fulfill in order to thermalize.…
