• Title: Modern Concepts of Quantum Equilibration Do Not Rule Out Strange Relaxation Dynamics
• Authors: Lars Knipschild and Jochen Gemmer
• Abstract summary: We numerically argue that there is a multitude of pairs $H,A$ that meet said conditions for equilibration. While restrictions on the $f(t)$ exist, they do not at all exclude $f(t)$ that are rather adverse or "strange" regarding thermal relaxation.

• Abstract: Numerous pivotal concepts have been introduced to clarify the puzzle of relaxation and/or equilibration in closed quantum systems. All of these concepts rely in some way on specific conditions on Hamiltonians $H$, observables $A$, and initial states $\rho$ or combinations thereof. We numerically demonstrate and analytically argue that there is a multitude of pairs $H,A$ that meet said conditions for equilibration and generate some "typical" expectation value dynamics which means, $\langle A(t)\rangle \propto f(t)$ approximately holds for the vast majority of all initial states. Remarkably we find that, while restrictions on the $f(t)$ exist, they do not at all exclude $f(t)$ that are rather adverse or "strange" regarding thermal relaxation.

  For general bipartite mixed states, a sufficient and necessary mathematical condition for certifying entanglement and/or (Bell) non-locality remains unknown. We derive very simple, handy criteria for detecting entanglement or non-locality in many cases. We illustrate these results by analyzing the potential detection of entanglement and nonlocality in Higgs to ZZ decays at the LHC.

This lemma focuses on quantum measures of distance, analogous to the classical Hamming distance but rooted in uniquely quantum principles. Even with sublinear barriers, we use Feynman-Kac techniques to lift classical to quantum ones establishing tight lower bound $T_mathrmmix = 2Omega(nalpha)$.

  We discuss some properties of a model Hamiltonian for a system of three bosons interacting via zero-range forces in three dimensions. In particular, starting from a suitable quadratic form $Q$, the self-adjoint and bounded from below Hamiltonian $mathcal H$ can be constructed. We show that the threshold value $gamma_c$ is optimal, in the sense that the quadratic form $Q$ is unbounded from below if $gammagamma_c$.

  A structure composed of two parallel homogeneous layers is studied in the limit as their widths $l_j$ and $l_j$, and the distance between them $r$ shrinks to zero simultaneously. The existence of non-trivial bound states is proven in the squeezing limit, including the particular example of the squeezed potential in the form of the derivative of Dirac's delta function. The scenario how a single bound state survives in the squeezed system from a finite number of bound states in the finite system is described in detail.
