- Title: Thermal equilibrium in Gaussian dynamical semigroups
- Authors: Fabricio Toscano and Fernando Nicacio
- Abstract summary: We characterize all Gaussian dynamical semigroups in continuous variables quantum systems of n-bosonic modes which have a thermal Gibbs state as a stationary solution.
We also show that Alicki's quantum detailed-balance condition, based on a Gelfand-Naimark-Segal inner product, allows the determination of the temperature dependence of the diffusion and dissipation matrices.

- Abstract: We characterize all Gaussian dynamical semigroups in continuous variables
quantum systems of n-bosonic modes which have a thermal Gibbs state as a
stationary solution. This is performed through an explicit relation between the
diffusion and dissipation matrices, which characterize the semigroup dynamic,
and the covariance matrix of the thermal equilibrium state. We also show that
Alicki's quantum detailed-balance condition, based on a Gelfand-Naimark-Segal
inner product, allows the determination of the temperature dependence of the
diffusion and dissipation matrices, and the identification of different
Gaussian dynamical semigroups which shares the same thermal equilibrium state.

We develop a formalism for mapping the exact dynamics of an ensemble of disordered quantum systems onto the dynamics of a single particle propagating along a semi-infinite lattice.
This mapping provides a geometric interpretation on the loss of coherence when averaging over the ensemble and allows computation of the exact dynamics of the entire disordered ensemble in a single simulation.

Hypothesis [0.0]
Eigenstate Thermalization Hypothesis (ETH) represents a cornerstone in the theoretical understanding of the emergence of thermal behavior in closed quantum systems.
We investigate what extent the ETH holds in non-Hermitian many-body systems.
We come to the surprising conclusion that the fluctuations between eigenstates is of equal order to the average, indicating no thermalization.

Our approach can be readily adapted for classifying the nature of quantum dynamics across dissipative critical points in other open quantum systems.
