• Abstract: Isolated quantum systems follow the unitary evolution, which guarantees the full many body state always keeps a constant entropy as its initial one. In comparison, the local subsystems exhibit relaxation behavior and evolve towards certain steady states, which is called the local relaxation. Here we consider the local dynamics of finite many body system with Ising interaction. In both strong and weak coupling situations, the local observables exhibit similar relaxation behavior as the macroscopic thermodynamics; due to the finite size effect, recurrence appears after a certain typical time. Especially, we find that the total correlation of this system approximately exhibits a monotonic increasing envelope in both strong and weak coupling cases, which corresponds to the irreversible entropy production in the standard macroscopic thermodynamics. Moreover, the possible maximum of such total correlation calculated under proper constraints also coincides well with the exact result of time dependent evolution.

  Signatures of localization have been observed in condensed matter and cold atomic systems. We propose a model of one-dimensional chain of non-interacting, spinless fermions coupled to a local ensemble of baths. We show that the steady state of the system undergoes a localization entanglement phase transition by tuning $p$ which remains stable in the presence of coherent hopping.

  We show that in many situations relaxation proceeds in two phases with exponential decay but different relaxation rates. Namely, in the thermodynamic limit the relaxtion rate exhibits a jump at a critical time proportional to system's size.

  Phase transitions correspond to the singular behavior of physical systems in response to continuous control parameters like temperature or external fields. Near continuous phase transitions, associated with the divergence of a correlation length, universal power-law scaling behavior with critical exponents independent of microscopic system details is found.

• Quantum coherence controls the nature of equilibration in coupled chaotic systems [0.0]
  Quantum coherence of the initial product states in the uncoupled eigenbasis can be viewed as a resource for equilibration and approach to thermalization. Results are given for four distinct perturbation strength regimes, the ultra-weak, weak, intermediate, and strong regimes. Maximally coherent initial states thermalize for any perturbation strength in spite of the fact that in the ultra-weak perturbative regime the underlying eigenstates of the system have a tensor product structure and are not at all thermal-like.

  We present a universal feature in the equilibration dynamics of the Sachdev-Ye-Kitaev (SYK) Hamiltonian. We reveal that the disorder-averaged evolution of few-body observables, including the quantum Fisher information, exhibit within numerical resolution a universal equilibration process. This framework extracts the disorder-averaged dynamics of a many-body system as an effective dissipative evolution.

• Quantum correlation entropy [0.0]
  We study quantum coarse-grained entropy and demonstrate that the gap in entropy between local and global coarse-grainings is a natural generalization of entanglement entropy to mixed states and multipartite systems. This "quantum correlation entropy" $Srm QC$ is additive over independent systems, measures total nonclassical correlations, and reduces to the entanglement entropy for bipartite pure states.

This temperature coincides with the environment temperature if the system reaches thermal equilibrium with a heat reservoir. We show that within this theoretical framework the total entropy production can be partitioned into two contributions.

• Growth of mutual information in a quenched one-dimensional open quantum many body system [11.731315568079445]
  In a dissipative system, postquench information propagates solely through entangled pairs of quasiparticles having a finite lifetime. Remarkably, in spite of the finite lifetime of the quasiparticles, a finite steady-state value of the MI survives in times which is an artifact of nonvanishing two-point correlations.
