Time-Resolved Observation of Thermalization in an Isolated Quantum System.
We use trapped atomic ions forming a hybrid Coulomb crystal and exploit its phonons to study an isolated quantum system composed of a single spin coupled to an engineered bosonic environment. We increase the complexity of the system by adding ions and controlling coherent couplings and, thereby, we observe the emergence of thermalization: Time averages of spin observables approach microcanonica...
متن کاملDynamics of entangled quantum optical system in independent media
We study the dynamics of two three-level atoms interacting with independent bosonic Lorentzian reservoirs at zero temperature. Such systems can be created in far astronomical objects. Quantum mechanical behaviour of these particles can produce detectable effects on the spectroscopic identifications of these objects, if such behaviour remain stable during the interaction with their media. It is ...
متن کاملVIEWPOINT Seeing Scrambled Spins
P hysicists have long wondered whether and how isolated quantum systems thermalize—questions that are relevant to systems as diverse as ultracold atomic gases and black holes. Recent theoretical and experimental advances are bringing fresh insight into this line of inquiry. At one extreme, researchers have shown that disorder can fully arrest thermalization in certain isolated many-body quantum...
متن کاملThermalization through unitary evolution of pure states
– The unitary time evolution of a quantum spin chain is calculated, and the entanglement evolution is shown. Moreover, we show that the reduced density matrix of a part of the chain evolves into a state in thermal equlibrium with the rest of the chain, even through unitary time evolution as opposed to the conventional picture that thermalization in quantum systems will happen during stochastic ...
متن کاملDynamics and thermalization in finite one-dimensional systems
We utilize quantum quenches to study the dynamics and thermalization of hardcore bosons in finite one-dimensional lattices. By means of full exact diagonalization, we show that far away from integrability few-body observables thermalize. We then study the breakdown of thermalization as one approaches integrable points [1, 2]. Insights on the different regimes are gained by means of eigenstate e...
