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 …

Conformal field theory out of equilibrium: a review

D Bernard, B Doyon - Journal of Statistical Mechanics: Theory …, 2016 - iopscience.iop.org
We provide a pedagogical review of the main ideas and results in non-equilibrium conformal
field theory and connected subjects. These concern the understanding of quantum transport …

Quench dynamics and relaxation in isolated integrable quantum spin chains
