The observable long-time behavior of an isolated many-body system after a quantum quench is considered, i.e., an eigenstate (or an equilibrium ensemble) of some pre-quench Hamiltonian $H$ serves as initial condition which then evolves in…

Quantum state, in relativistic quantum mechanics, itself turns out to be an entangled state due to its own degrees freedom such as spin and momentum. This peculiar entanglement leaves the transformed state mixed. We consider the fractional…
