We study the ergodic properties of a unitary Floquet dynamics arising from the repeated application of a translationally-invariant Clifford Quantum Cellular Automata to an infinite system of qubits in d dimensions. One expects that if the…

It has been known for some time that the entropy of hot QCD is well reproduced by weak coupling techniques. These do not identify with perturbation theory, known to have poor convergence properties, but involve resumming the physics of hard…

We use exact diagonalization to study the eigenstate thermalization hypothesis (ETH) in the quantum dimer model on the square and triangular lattices. Due to the nonergodicity of the local plaquette-flip dynamics, the Hilbert space, which…

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…

We establish an analytical criterion for dynamical thermalization within harmonic systems, applicable to both classical and quantum models. Specifically, we prove that thermalization of various observables, such as particle energies in…

Stochastic and mixed stochastic-deterministic density functional theory (DFT) are promising new approaches for the calculation of the equation-of-state and transport properties in materials under extreme conditions. In the intermediate warm…

Recently, there have been significant new insights concerning conditions under which closed systems equilibrate locally. The question if subsystems thermalize---if the equilibrium state is independent of the initial state---is however much…

In the present communication we consider the one-dimensional (1D) isotopically disordered lattice with the harmonic potential. Our analytical method is adequate for any 1D lattice where potential energy can be presented as the quadratic…

We simulate dynamics of many-particle systems of bosons and fermions using discrete time quantum walks on lattices. We present a computational proof of a behavior of the simulated systems similar to the one observed in Hamiltonian dynamics…

We present results of a first study of equation of state in finite-temperature QCD with two flavors of Wilson-type quarks. Simulations are made on lattices with temporal size $N_t=4$ and 6, using an RG-improved action for the gluon sector…

We extend White's minimally entangled typically thermal states approach (METTS) to allow Abelian and non-Ablian symmetries to be exploited when computing finite-temperature response functions in one-dimensional (1D) quantum systems. Our…

We consider the set of all initial states within a microcanonical energy shell of an isolated many-body quantum system, which exhibit the same, arbitrary but fixed non-equilibrium expectation value for some given observable $A$. On…

We identify the universal mechanism behind the thermalization of (1+1)d QFTs at high and low temperatures. Viewing these theories as CFTs perturbed by relevant or irrelevant deformations, we show that conformal perturbation theory in the…

Motivated by the qualitative picture of Canonical Typicality, we propose a refined formulation of the Eigenstate Thermalization Hypothesis (ETH) for chaotic quantum systems. The new formulation, which we refer to as subsystem ETH, is in…

Turbulence is a complex spatial and temporal structure created by the strong non-linear dynamics of fluid flows at high Reynolds numbers. Despite being an ubiquitous phenomenon that has been studied for centuries, a full understanding of…

Based on the view that thermal equilibrium should be characterized through macroscopic observations, we develop a general theory about typicality of thermal equilibrium and the approach to thermal equilibrium in macroscopic quantum systems.…

A fundamental principle of chaotic quantum dynamics is that local subsystems eventually approach a thermal equilibrium state. Large subsystems thermalize slower: their approach to equilibrium is limited by the hydrodynamic build-up of…

Simulating strongly coupled gauge theories at finite temperature and density is a longstanding challenge in nuclear and high-energy physics that also has fundamental implications for condensed matter physics. In this work, we use minimally…

We consider (2+1)-dimensional topological quantum states which possess edge states described by a chiral (1+1)-dimensional Conformal Field Theory (CFT), such as e.g. a general quantum Hall state. We demonstrate that for such states the…

We consider a system of linear oscillators, or quantum states, described by Random Matrix Theory and analyze how its time evolution is affected by a nonlinear perturbation. Our numerical results show that above a certain chaos border a weak…
