Noncommuting conserved charges in quantum thermodynamics and beyond

S Majidy, WF Braasch Jr, A Lasek, T Upadhyaya… - Nature Reviews …, 2023 - nature.com
Thermodynamic systems typically conserve quantities (known as charges) such as energy
and particle number. The charges are often assumed implicitly to commute with each other …

Many-body localization in the age of classical computing

P Sierant, M Lewenstein, A Scardicchio… - Reports on Progress …, 2025 - iopscience.iop.org
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 …

Maximum entropy principle in deep thermalization and in hilbert-space ergodicity

DK Mark, F Surace, A Elben, AL Shaw, J Choi… - Physical Review X, 2024 - APS
We report universal statistical properties displayed by ensembles of pure states that
naturally emerge in quantum many-body systems. Specifically, two classes of state …

Multiboundary wormholes and OPE statistics

J de Boer, D Liška, B Post - Journal of High Energy Physics, 2024 - Springer
A bstract We derive higher moments in the statistical distribution of OPE coefficients in
holographic 2D CFTs, and show that such moments correspond to multiboundary Euclidean …

Purification timescales in monitored fermions

H Lóio, A De Luca, J De Nardis, X Turkeshi - Physical Review B, 2023 - APS
We investigate the crucial role played by a global symmetry in the purification timescales
and the phase transitions of monitored free fermionic systems separating a mixed and a …

Designs via free probability

M Fava, J Kurchan, S Pappalardi - Physical Review X, 2025 - APS
Unitary designs have become a vital tool for investigating pseudorandomness, since they
approximate the statistics of the uniform Haar ensemble. Despite their central role in …

Jackiw-Teitelboim gravity with matter, generalized eigenstate thermalization hypothesis, and random matrices

DL Jafferis, DK Kolchmeyer, B Mukhametzhanov… - Physical Review D, 2023 - APS
We present evidence for a duality between Jackiw-Teitelboim gravity minimally coupled to a
free massive scalar field and a single-trace two-matrix model. One matrix is the Hamiltonian …

Non-abelian eigenstate thermalization hypothesis

C Murthy, A Babakhani, F Iniguez, M Srednicki… - Physical Review Letters, 2023 - APS
The eigenstate thermalization hypothesis (ETH) explains why nonintegrable quantum many-
body systems thermalize internally if the Hamiltonian lacks symmetries. If the Hamiltonian …

Matrix models for eigenstate thermalization

DL Jafferis, DK Kolchmeyer, B Mukhametzhanov… - Physical Review X, 2023 - APS
We develop a class of matrix models that implement and formalize the eigenstate
thermalization hypothesis (ETH) and point out that, in general, these models must contain …

Deep thermalization in constrained quantum systems

T Bhore, JY Desaules, Z Papić - Physical Review B, 2023 - APS
The concept of “deep thermalization” has recently been introduced to characterize moments
of an ensemble of pure states, resulting from projective measurements on a subsystem …
