Dissipative microcanonical ensemble preparation from KMS-detailed balance

Anirban N. Chowdhury, Samuel O. Scalet, Kunal Sharma

Stationary states of quantum many-body Hamiltonians are invariant under the Hamiltonian evolution. Besides ground and thermal states, this class includes microcanonical ensembles that are of fundamental importance in statistical physics. We consider the preparation of general stationary states by leveraging recent advances in the field of open-system dynamics. In particular, constructions based on exact KMS-detailed balance with respect to Gibbs states of noncommuting Hamiltonians have only recently been proposed as a tool for their efficient preparation and, by extension to small temperatures, for ground state preparation. We extend these constructions to the problem of stationary state preparation, providing general criteria that characterize when such states have efficient implementations, along with specific results on the approximation of microcanonical ensembles. An interesting application of our work are tests of conjectured ensemble equivalences for local observables between microcanonical and Gibbs ensembles.

Quantum quenches in the Dicke model: Thermalization and failure of the generalized Gibbs ensemble*

Xiaoqiang Su, You-Quan Zhao

Quantum quenches in the Dicke model were studied both in the thermodynamic limit and the finite systems. For the integrable situation in the thermodynamic limit, the generalized Gibbs ensemble can effectively describe the energy-level occupations for the quench within the normal phase, but it fails for the quench to the superradiant phase. For the finite systems which are considered non-integrable, the post quench systems were studied by comparing with the thermal ensembles. The canonical ensembles are directly available for the quench within the normal phase. With the increasing of the target coupling strength over the equilibrium phase transition critical point, sudden changes take place for the effective temperature and the distance to the thermal ensembles. The thermalization was also studied by comparing with the results of the microcanonical ensembles.

Generalized hydrodynamics of classical integrable field theory: the sinh-Gordon model

Alvise Bastianello, Benjamin Doyon, Gérard M. T. Watts +1 more

Using generalized hydrodynamics (GHD), we develop the Euler hydrodynamics of classical integrable field theory. Classical field GHD is based on a known formalism for Gibbs ensembles of classical fields, that resembles the thermodynamic Bethe ansatz of quantum models, which we extend to generalized Gibbs ensembles (GGEs). In general, GHD must take into account both solitonic and radiative modes of classical fields. We observe that the quasi-particle formulation of GHD remains valid for radiative modes, even though these do not display particle-like properties in their precise dynamics. We point out that because of a UV catastrophe similar to that of black body radiation, radiative modes suffer from divergences that restrict the set of finite-average observables; this set is larger for GGEs with higher conserved charges. We concentrate on the sinh-Gordon model, which only has radiative modes, and study transport in the domain-wall initial problem as well as Euler-scale correlations in GGEs. We confirm a variety of exact GHD predictions, including those coming from hydrodynamic projection theory, by comparing with Metropolis numerical evaluations.
