Hi Everyone,
Tomorrow we will have a special group meeting given by Prof. Lea Santos of
Yeshiva University. Please see below for the title and abstract of her talk.

TITLE: Equilibration and thermalization of isolated many-body quantum
systems
ABSTRACT: In this talk, I will discuss our recent contributions towards a
better understanding of many-body quantum systems far from equilibrium.
Describing and predicting the behavior of such systems is a problem at the
forefront of theoretical physics. The subject is also intertwined with new
experimental breakthroughs in the coherent control of complex quantum
systems.
Focusing on representative low-dimensional interacting quantum systems with
and without disorder, we draw general conclusions about: (i) the short- and
long-time dynamics, (ii) the size of the temporal fluctuations after
relaxation, and (iii) the conditions to reach thermal equilibrium. We find
analytical expressions for the dynamics that are in excellent agreement
with numerical results. Our studies reveal a richer scenario than the
simple picture associating chaos with fast evolution and viability of
thermalization.
