- Abstract: The eigenstate thermalization hypothesis (ETH), which asserts that every
eigenstate of a many-body quantum system is indistinguishable from a thermal
ensemble, plays a pivotal role in understanding thermalization of isolated
quantum systems. Yet, no evidence has been obtained as to whether the ETH holds
for $\textit{any}$ few-body operators in a chaotic system; such few-body
operators include crucial quantities in statistical mechanics, e.g., the total
magnetization, the momentum distribution, and their low-order thermal and
quantum fluctuations. Here, we identify rigorous upper and lower bounds on
$m_{\ast}$ such that $\textit{all}$ $m$-body operators with $m < m_{\ast}$
satisfy the ETH in fully chaotic systems. For arbitrary dimensional
$N$-particle systems subject to the Haar measure, we prove that there exist
$N$-independent positive constants ${\alpha}_L$ and ${\alpha}_U$ such that
${\alpha}_L \leq m_{\ast} / N \leq {\alpha}_U$ holds. The bounds ${\alpha}_L$
and ${\alpha}_U$ depend only on the spin quantum number for spin systems and
the particle-number density for Bose and Fermi systems. Thermalization of
$\textit{typical}$ systems for $\textit{any}$ few-body operators is thus
rigorously proved.

We find a duality between open many-body systems governed by the Gorini-Kossakowski-Sudarshan-Lindblad (GKSL) equation.
Under this duality, the identity operator on the open system side maps to the thermofield double state.
We identify broad classes of many-body open systems with nontrivial explicit eigen operators $Q$ of the Lindbladian superoperator.

The observables associated with a quantum system $S$ form a non-commutative algebra $mathcal A_S$.
It is assumed that a density matrix $rho$ can be determined from the expectation values of observables.
Abelian algebras do not have inner automorphisms, so the measurement apparatus can determine mean values of observables.

A general attenuator $Phi_lambda, sigma$ is a bosonic quantum channel that acts by combining the input with a fixed environment state.
We show that for any arbitrary value of $lambda>0$ there exists a suitable single-mode state $sigma(lambda)$.
Our result holds even when we fix an energy constraint at the input of the channel, and implies that quantum communication at a constant rate is possible even in the limit of arbitrarily low transmissivity.
