• Title: Solvable model of deep thermalization with distinct design times
• Authors: Matteo Ippoliti and Wen Wei Ho
• Abstract summary: We study the emergence over time of a universal, uniform distribution of quantum states supported on a finite subsystem. This phenomenon represents a form of equilibration in quantum many-body systems stronger than regular thermalization. We present an exactly-solvable model of chaotic dynamics where the two processes can be shown to occur over different time scales.

• Abstract: We study the emergence over time of a universal, uniform distribution of quantum states supported on a finite subsystem, induced by projectively measuring the rest of the system. Dubbed deep thermalization, this phenomenon represents a form of equilibration in quantum many-body systems stronger than regular thermalization, which only constrains the ensemble-averaged values of observables. While there exist quantum circuit models of dynamics in one dimension where this phenomenon can be shown to arise exactly, these are special in that deep thermalization occurs at precisely the same time as regular thermalization. Here, we present an exactly-solvable model of chaotic dynamics where the two processes can be shown to occur over different time scales. The model is composed of a finite subsystem coupled to an infinite random-matrix bath through a small constriction, and highlights the role of locality and imperfect thermalization in constraining the formation of such universal wavefunction distributions. We test our analytical predictions against exact numerical simulations, finding excellent agreement.

• Emergent symmetries in prethermal phases of periodically driven quantum systems [0.0]
  Periodically driven closed quantum systems are expected to eventually heat up to infinite temperature reaching a steady state. However, their properties in long prethermal regimes are qualitatively different from that in their infinite temperature steady states. These, often experimentally relevant, prethermal regimes host a wide range of phenomena. They may exhibit dynamical localization and freezing, host Floquet scars, display signatures of Hilbert space fragmentation, and exhibit time crystalline phases.

• Entropy production in the mesoscopic-leads formulation of quantum thermodynamics [0.0]
  entropy production of systems strongly coupled to thermal baths is a core problem of quantum thermodynamics and mesoscopic physics. Recently, the mesoscopic leads approach has emerged as a powerful method for studying such quantum systems strongly coupled to multiple thermal baths. We show numerically, that a system coupled to a single bath exhibits a thermal fixed point at the level of the embedding.

• Emergent pair localization in a many-body quantum spin system [0.0]
  Generically, non-integrable quantum systems are expected to thermalize as they comply with the Eigenstate Thermalization Hypothesis. In the presence of strong disorder, the dynamics can possibly slow down to a degree that systems fail to thermalize on experimentally accessible timescales. We study an ensemble of Heisenberg spins with a tunable distribution of random coupling strengths realized by a Rydberg quantum simulator.

  We discuss the onset of quantum chaos and thermalization in the two-mode Dicke model. The two-mode Dicke model exhibits normal to superradiant quantum phase transition. We show that the temporal fluctuations of the expectation value of the collective spin observable around its average are small and decrease with the effective system size.

• Dynamical purification and the emergence of quantum state designs from the projected ensemble [0.0]
  Quantum thermalization in a many-body system is defined by the approach of local subsystems towards a universal form. Projected ensemble can mimic the behavior of a maximally entropic, uniformly random ensemble. We show that absence of dynamical purification in the space-time dual dynamics yields exact state-designs for all moments $k$ at the same time.

  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.
