• Abstract summary: In non-interacting isolated quantum systems out of equilibrium, local subsystems typically relax to non-thermal stationary states. In the standard framework, information on the rest of the system is discarded, and such states are described by a Generalized Gibbs Ensemble (GGE) Here we show that the latter also completely characterize a recently introduced projected ensemble (PE), constructed by performing projective measurements on the rest of the system.

• Abstract: In non-interacting isolated quantum systems out of equilibrium, local subsystems typically relax to non-thermal stationary states. In the standard framework, information on the rest of the system is discarded, and such states are described by a Generalized Gibbs Ensemble (GGE), maximizing the entropy while respecting the constraints imposed by the local conservation laws. Here we show that the latter also completely characterize a recently introduced projected ensemble (PE), constructed by performing projective measurements on the rest of the system and recording the outcomes. By focusing on the time evolution of fermionic Gaussian states in a tight-binding chain, we put forward a random ensemble constructed out of the local conservation laws, which we call deep GGE (dGGE). For infinite-temperature initial states, we show that the dGGE coincides with a universal Haar random ensemble on the manifold of Gaussian states. For both infinite and finite temperatures, we use a Monte Carlo approach to test numerically the predictions of the dGGE against the PE. We study in particular the $k$-moments of the state covariance matrix and the entanglement entropy, finding excellent agreement. Our work provides a first step towards a systematic characterization of projected ensembles beyond the case of chaotic systems and infinite temperatures.

  A periodically driven (Floquet) system in the absence of any conservation law heats to a featureless infinite temperature' state. Here, we find--for a clean and interacting generic spin chain--that this can be prevented by the emergence of it approximate but stable conservation-laws not present in the undriven system. We show numerically, it in the thermodynamic limit,' that when required by these emergent conservation-laws, the entanglement-entropy density of an infinite subsystem remains zero.
