Gaussian ensemble for quantum integrable dynamics

Hyungwon Kim, Anatoli Polkovnikov, Emil A. Yuzbashyan

We propose a Gaussian ensemble as a description of the long-time dynamics of isolated quantum integrable systems. Our approach extends the Generalized Gibbs Ensemble (GGE) by incor…

Thermalization of entanglement

Liangsheng Zhang, Hyungwon Kim, David A. Huse

We explore the dynamics of the entanglement entropy near equilibrium in highly-entangled pure states of two quantum-chaotic spin chains undergoing unitary time evolution. We examin…

Slowest local operators in quantum spin chains

Hyungwon Kim, Mari Carmen Bañuls, J. Ignacio Cirac +2

We numerically construct slowly relaxing local operators in a nonintegrable spin-1/2 chain. Restricting the support of the operator to consecutive spins along the chain, we exh…

Testing whether all eigenstates obey the Eigenstate Thermalization Hypothesis

Hyungwon Kim, Tatsuhiko N. Ikeda, David A. Huse

We ask whether the Eigenstate Thermalization Hypothesis (ETH) is valid in a strong sense: in the limit of an infinite system, {\it every} eigenstate is thermal. We examine expectat…

Eigenstate Thermalization and Representative States on Subsystems

Vedika Khemani, Anushya Chandran, Hyungwon Kim +1

We consider a quantum system A U B made up of degrees of freedom that can be partitioned into spatially disjoint regions A and B. When the full system is in a pure state in which r…

Entanglement spreading in a many-body localized system

Arun Nanduri, Hyungwon Kim, David A. Huse

Motivated by the findings of logarithmic spreading of entanglement in a many-body localized system, we more closely examine the spreading of entanglement in the fully many-body loc…
