演題 Title: Universality, breakdown, and timescale of thermalization in isolated quantum systems

要旨:Abstract:
How isolated quantum systems relax to thermal equilibrium is the fundamental problem in quantum statistical mechanics [1]. While local observables in generic systems are believed to thermalize after long time via the eigenstate thermalization hypothesis (ETH) [2], to what extent the ETH universally holds is still an open question; indeed, recent studies show that thermalization breaks down by various mechanisms. Furthermore, understanding timescale for thermalization is another challenge beyond the theory of the ETH.

In this talk, we address universality, breakdown, and timescale of thermalization in isolated quantum systems. We first show our numerical verification of the universality of the ETH for realistic quantum many-body systems. We introduce few-body random matrix ensembles to model realistic systems and show that the ETH holds for most of them unless the range of the interactions is too long [3].

We then discuss some new mechanisms that break the ETH in non-integrable systems. We start with high-dimensional quantum Ising models with a weak transverse field. Despite its non-integrability, we discover that the domain-wall conservation law in the effective model leads to the Hilbert-space fragmentation, a recently found mechanism for the absence of thermalization [4]. We next show how general discrete symmetries should break the ETH for a certain class of non-local observables, especially emphasizing the case where higher-form symmetries exist [5].

If time allows, we discuss quantum speed limits useful for the macroscopic transitions, such as macroscopic transport of atoms, which are relevant for timescales of thermalization from inhomogeneous initial states. Employing the local conservation law of probability, we derive quantum speed limits that lead to reasonable timescales for macroscopic transitions [6].
