• Abstract: Thermalization (generalized thermalization) in nonintegrable (integrable) quantum systems requires two ingredients: equilibration and agreement with the predictions of the Gibbs (generalized Gibbs) ensemble. We prove that observables that exhibit eigenstate thermalization in single-particle sector equilibrate in many-body sectors of quantum-chaotic quadratic models. Remarkably, the same observables do not exhibit eigenstate thermalization in many-body sectors (we establish that there are exponentially many outliers). Hence, the generalized Gibbs ensemble is generally needed to describe their expectation values after equilibration, and it is characterized by Lagrange multipliers that are smooth functions of single-particle energies.

• Normal weak eigenstate thermalization [0.0]
  Eigenstate thermalization has been shown to occur for few-body observables in a wide range of nonintegrable interacting models. We show that there are few-body observables with a nonvanishing Hilbert-Schmidt norm that are guarrantied to exhibit a vanishing variance of the diagonal matrix elements. For quantum-chaotic quadratic Hamiltonians, we prove that normal weak eigenstate thermalization is a consequence of single-particle eigenstate thermalization.

  We show that many properties of tight-binding billiards match those of quantum-chaotic quadratic Hamiltonians. On the other hand, a degenerate subset of single-particle eigenstates at zero energy can be described as chiral particles whose wavefunctions are confined to one of the sublattices.
