• Abstract: We simulate the nonequilibrium steady state \textit{cis-trans} photoisomerization of retinal chromophore in rhodopsin based on a two-state-two-mode model coupled to a thermal environment. By analyzing the systematic trends within an inhomogeneously broadened ensemble of systems, we find that the steady state reaction quantum yield (QY) correlates strongly with the excess energy above the crossing point of the system, in agreement with the prediction of the short time dynamical wavepacket picture. However, the nontrivial dependence of the QY on the system-environment interaction indicates that a pure dynamical picture is insufficient and that environment-induced partial internal energy redistribution takes place before the reaction concludes. These results imply that a proper treatment of the photoisomerization reaction, particularly its high QY, must account for the redistribution and dissipation of energy beyond the dynamical wavepacket motion that is typically employed in the literature and that is appropriate only in the transient regime.

  We study the dynamics of the entropy production rate in a quench scenario of the Kerr model. The entropy production can be split into two contributions, one being extensive with the drive and describing classical irreversibility. The latter, in particular, is found to reveal the high degree of non-adiabaticity, for quenches between different metastable states.

  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.
