This review gives a pedagogical introduction to the eigenstate thermalization hypothesis
(ETH), its basis, and its implications to statistical mechanics and thermodynamics. In the first …

How do closed quantum many-body systems driven out of equilibrium eventually achieve
equilibration? And how do these systems thermalize, given that they comprise so many …

Controllable, coherent many-body systems can provide insights into the fundamental
properties of quantum matter, enable the realization of new quantum phases and could …

A critical question for quantum computing in the near future is whether quantum devices
without error correction can perform a well-defined computational task beyond the …

Many-body localization (MBL), the disorder-induced localization of interacting particles,
signals a breakdown of conventional thermodynamics because MBL systems do not …

Ultracold quantum gases offer a unique setting for quantum simulation of interacting many-
body systems. The high degree of controllability, the novel detection possibilities and the …

Statistical mechanics relies on the maximization of entropy in a system at thermal
equilibrium. However, an isolated quantum many-body system initialized in a pure state …

Recent years have seen remarkable development in open quantum systems effectively
described by non-Hermitian Hamiltonians. A unique feature of non-Hermitian topological …

Within the last two decades, quantum technologies (QT) have made tremendous progress,
moving from Nobel Prize award-winning experiments on quantum physics (1997: Chu …

The nonequilibrium physics of many-body quantum systems harbors various unconventional
phenomena. In this Letter, we experimentally investigate one of the most puzzling of these …
