Thermalization and prethermalization in isolated quantum systems: a theoretical overview

T Mori, TN Ikeda, E Kaminishi… - Journal of Physics B …, 2018 - iopscience.iop.org
The approach to thermal equilibrium, or thermalization, in isolated quantum systems is
among the most fundamental problems in statistical physics. Recent theoretical studies have …

Equilibration, thermalisation, and the emergence of statistical mechanics in closed quantum systems

C Gogolin, J Eisert - Reports on Progress in Physics, 2016 - iopscience.iop.org
We review selected advances in the theoretical understanding of complex quantum many-
body systems with regard to emergent notions of quantum statistical mechanics. We cover …

Generalized Gibbs ensemble in integrable lattice models

L Vidmar, M Rigol - Journal of Statistical Mechanics: Theory and …, 2016 - iopscience.iop.org
The generalized Gibbs ensemble (GGE) was introduced ten years ago to describe
observables in isolated integrable quantum systems after equilibration. Since then, the GGE …

Quench dynamics and relaxation in isolated integrable quantum spin chains

give a pedagogical introduction to relaxation in isolated quantum systems, and discuss the …

Complete generalized Gibbs ensembles in an interacting theory

E Ilievski, J De Nardis, B Wouters, JS Caux… - Physical review …, 2015 - APS
In integrable many-particle systems, it is widely believed that the stationary state reached at
late times after a quantum quench can be described by a generalized Gibbs ensemble …
