Abstract

A new theoretical framework provides a simple yet general mechanism for understanding prethermalization, a common but poorly understood two-step process through which some quantum gases reach thermal equilibrium.

Abstract The approach to thermal equilibrium, or thermalization, in isolated quantum systems is among the most fundamental problems in statistical physics. Recent theoretical studies have revealed that thermalization in isolated quantum systems has several remarkable features, which emerge from quantum entanglement and are quite distinct from those in classical systems. Experimentally, well isolated and highly controllable ultracold quantum gases offer an ideal testbed to study the nonequilibrium dynamics in isolated quantum systems, promoting intensive recent theoretical endeavors on this fundamental subject. Besides thermalization, many isolated quantum systems show intriguing behavior in relaxation processes, especially prethermalization. Prethermalization occurs when there is a clear separation of relevant time scales and has several different physical origins depending on individual systems. In this review, we overview theoretical approaches to the problems of thermalization and prethermalization.

Watching magnetic atoms thermalize

Physics A multiparticle system displaced from its equilibrium state usually goes back to equilibrium in short order. Some systems, such as one-dimensional (1D) quantum gases, thermalize very slowly, first reaching an intermediate prethermalized state. To study how the prethermalized state evolves

The Thermalization of Isolated Quantum Systems

John Keim

The thermal behavior of isolated quantum systems has been a topic of discussion in physics since the 1930's. Due to the nature of quantum systems, it's been necessary to produce theories separate from classical understanding to handle these isolated systems. In this project, I introduce our reader to theoretical framework surrounding isolated quantum systems and apply this framework to experimental and analytical results. We do this in hopes of deepening our understanding of the elusive behavior of these systems.

Universal Prethermalization in Interacting Bose-Fermi Degenerate Systems

Revista, Zen, PHYSICS, 10

This paper explores the phenomenon of universal prethermalization in out-of-equilibrium interacting Bose-Fermi degenerate systems. Prethermalization, a transient non-equilibrium state characterized by a quasi-stationary distribution that is thermal with respect to a restricted set of effective conserved quantities, has emerged as a fundamental concept in the understanding of isolated quantum many-body systems far from equilibrium. We specifically focus on the unique interplay between bosonic and fermionic degrees of freedom, which introduces novel pathways for relaxation and distinct characteristics of prethermal plateaus. The universality of prethermal dynamics, implying independence from microscopic details and initial conditions within certain regimes, is investigated in the context of interspecies interactions, density imbalances, and dimensionality. We review the theoretical frameworks, including mean-field descriptions, effective Hamiltonians, and kinetic equations, alongside experimental observations in ultracold atomic gases that provide a fertile ground for studying such non-equilibrium phenomena. The emergence of universal scaling laws and the role of conservation laws in defining the prethermal state are discussed, paving the way for a deeper understanding of thermalization processes and the persistence of non-equilibrium states in complex quantum matter.
