• Title: Thermal equilibrium in Gaussian dynamical semigroups
• 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.

  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.
