The spontaneous breaking of time-translation symmetry has led to the discovery of a new
phase of matter: the discrete time crystal. Discrete time crystals exhibit rigid subharmonic …

The discovery of quantum many-body scars (QMBS) both in Rydberg atom simulators and in
the Affleck–Kennedy–Lieb–Tasaki spin-1 chain model, have shown that a weak violation of …

Thermalization is the inevitable fate of many complex quantum systems, whose dynamics
allow them to fully explore the vast configuration space regardless of the initial state—the …

Statistical mechanics provides a framework for describing the physics of large, complex
many-body systems using only a few macroscopic parameters to determine the state of the …

Intriguingly, quantum many-body systems may defy thermalization even without disorder.
One example is so-called fragmented models, where the many-body Hilbert space …

Thermalization is a ubiquitous process of statistical physics, in which a physical system
reaches an equilibrium state that is defined by a few global properties such as temperature …

The ongoing quest for understanding nonequilibrium dynamics of complex quantum
systems underpins the foundation of statistical physics as well as the development of …

We study time dynamics of 1D disordered Heisenberg spin-1/2 chains focusing on a regime
of large system sizes and a long-time evolution. This regime is relevant for observation of …

A fundamental principle of chaotic quantum dynamics is that local subsystems eventually
approach a thermal equilibrium state. The corresponding timescales increase with …

Identifying universal properties of nonequilibrium quantum states is a major challenge in
modern physics. A fascinating prediction is that classical hydrodynamics emerges …
