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 …

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
