A closed quantum system thermalizes if for time $t \to \infty$, the function ${\rm Tr} (A \rho(t))$ tends asymptotically to ${\rm Tr} (A \rho_{\rm eq})$. Here $A$ is an operator that represents an observable, $\rho(t)$ is the time-dependent…

The dynamics of many important high-dimensional dynamical systems are both chaotic and complex, meaning that strong reducing hypotheses are required to understand the dynamics. The highly influential chaotic hypothesis of Gallavotti and…
