From quantum chaos and eigenstate thermalization to statistical mechanics and thermodynamics

L D'Alessio, Y Kafri, A Polkovnikov, M Rigol - Advances in Physics, 2016 - Taylor & Francis
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 …

Recent progress in many‐body localization

DA Abanin, Z Papić - Annalen der Physik, 2017 - Wiley Online Library
This article is a brief introduction to the rapidly evolving field of many‐body localization.
Rather than giving an in‐depth review of the subject, our aspiration here is simply to …

Eigenstate thermalization hypothesis

JM Deutsch - Reports on Progress in Physics, 2018 - iopscience.iop.org
The emergence of statistical mechanics for isolated classical systems comes about through
chaotic dynamics and ergodicity. Here we review how similar questions can be answered in …

Quench dynamics and relaxation in isolated integrable quantum spin chains

FHL Essler, M Fagotti - Journal of Statistical Mechanics: Theory …, 2016 - iopscience.iop.org
We review the dynamics after quantum quenches in integrable quantum spin chains. We
give a pedagogical introduction to relaxation in isolated quantum systems, and discuss the …

Non-Hermitian many-body localization

R Hamazaki, K Kawabata, M Ueda - Physical review letters, 2019 - APS
Many-body localization is shown to suppress the imaginary parts of complex eigenenergies
for general non-Hermitian Hamiltonians having time-reversal symmetry. We demonstrate …

Stability and instability towards delocalization in many-body localization systems

W De Roeck, F Huveneers - Physical Review B, 2017 - APS
We propose a theory that describes quantitatively the (in) stability of fully many-body
localization (MBL) systems due to ergodic, ie, delocalized, grains, that can be, for example …

Long-time behavior of isolated periodically driven interacting lattice systems

L D'Alessio, M Rigol - Physical Review X, 2014 - APS
We study the dynamics of isolated interacting spin chains that are periodically driven by
sudden quenches. Using full exact diagonalization of finite chains, we show that these …

Testing whether all eigenstates obey the eigenstate thermalization hypothesis

H Kim, TN Ikeda, DA Huse - Physical Review E, 2014 - APS
We ask whether the eigenstate thermalization hypothesis (ETH) is valid in a strong sense: in
the limit of an infinite system, every eigenstate is thermal. We examine expectation values of …

Eigenstate thermalization hypothesis and free probability

S Pappalardi, L Foini, J Kurchan - Physical Review Letters, 2022 - APS
Quantum thermalization is well understood via the eigenstate thermalization hypothesis
(ETH). The general form of ETH, describing all the relevant correlations of matrix elements …
