Quantum equilibration of a model system Porphine
arXiv:1910.05982
Abstract
There is a renewed interest in the derivation of statistical mechanics from the dynamics of closed quantum systems. A central part of this program is to understand how far-from-equilibrium closed quantum system can behave as if relaxing to a stable equilibrium. Equilibration dynamics has been traditionally studied with a focus on the so-called quenches of large-scale many-body systems. Alternatively, we consider here the equilibration of a molecular model system describing the double proton transfer reaction in porphine. Using numerical simulations, we show that equilibration in this context indeed takes place and does so very rapidly (fs) for initial states induced by pump-dump laser pulse control with energies well above the synchronous tunneling barrier.
