Theoretical Physics
Thermalization and ergodicity breaking in quantum many-body systems
byAlessio Lerose
Abstract:Non-equilibrium dynamics of isolated quantum many-body systems plays an important role in contemporary theoretical physics research, from foundational questions on quantum statistical mechanics to the development of quantum technologies.
I will provide a guided tour of a selection of results on thermalization and ergodicity breaking in quantum many-body dynamics, with an eye on mathematically rigorous studies, including (many) conjectures and (few) proven statements.
