• Abstract: Ensemble density functional theory extends the usual Kohn-Sham machinery to quantum state ensembles involving ground- and excited states. Recent work by the authors [Phys. Rev. Lett. 119, 243001 (2017); 123, 016401 (2019)] has shown that both the Hartree-exchange and correlation energies can attain unusual features in ensembles. Density-driven(DD) correlations -- which account for the fact that pure-state densities in Kohn-Sham ensembles do not necessarily reproduce those of interacting pure states -- are one such feature. Here we study atoms (specifically $S$--$P$ and $S$--$S$ transitions) and show that the magnitude and behaviour of DD correlations can vary greatly with the variation of the orbital angular momentum of the involved states. Such estimations are obtained through an approximation for DD correlations built from relevant exact conditions Kohn-Sham inversion, and plausible assumptions for weakly correlated systems.

The correlations associated with scrambling of quantum information lie outside the standard framework established by the eigenstate thermalisation hypothesis (ETH) We establish the simplest correlation function that captures these correlations and discuss features of its behaviour that are expected to be universal at long distances and low energies.

  The eigenstate thermalization hypothesis (ETH) offers a universal mechanism for the approach to equilibrium of closed quantum many-body systems. Here, we propose a theory-independent route to probe the full ETH in quantum simulators by observing the emergence of fluctuation-dissipation relations. Our work presents a theory-independent way to characterize thermalization in quantum simulators and paves the way to quantum simulate condensed matter pump-probe experiments.
