• Abstract: The postulates of the eigenstate thermalization hypothesis (ETH) express that thermalization occurs due to the individual eigenstate of the system's Hamiltonian. But the ETH put no light on the dynamics that lead toward thermalization. In this paper, we observe the thermalization of a Bose-Einstein Condensate (BEC) confined in an optical lattice potential that is embedded in the harmonic trap. Such optical lattice potential offers local friction to the oscillating BEC. The spread in the temporal density plot of BEC shows the thermalization of the BEC. Moreover, we observe that the presence of a PT-symmetric potential greatly influences the BEC dynamics and the thermalization of the system. The presence of a PT-symmetric potential offers a way to manipulate the mean position of the BEC to the desired location and for a desired length of time.

  Eigenstate Thermalization Hypothesis (ETH) has played a key role in recent advances in high energy and condensed matter communities.

We also observe prototypical signatures of thermalization in states well outside microcanonical windows of both charge and energy, which we dub generic ETH'

  We investigate the phenomenology leading to the non-conservation of energy of the continuous spontaneous localization (CSL) model. We use such framework to assess the equilibration process entailed by the dissipative formulation of the model (dCSL) We show that the CSL model violates Clausius law, as it exhibits a negative entropy production rate.

  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.
