• Abstract: We study the role of topology in governing deep thermalization, the relaxation of a local subsystem towards a maximally-entropic, uniform distribution of post-measurement states, upon observing the complementary subsystem in a local basis. Concretely, we focus on a class of (1+1)d systems exhibiting `maximally-chaotic' dynamics, and consider how the rate of the formation of such a universal wavefunction distribution depends on boundary conditions of the system. We find that deep thermalization is achieved exponentially quickly in the presence of either periodic or open boundary conditions; however, the rate at which this occurs is twice as fast for the former than for the latter. These results are attained analytically using the calculus of integration over unitary groups, and supported by extensive numerical simulations. Our findings highlight the nonlocal nature of deep thermalization, and clearly illustrates that the physics underlying this phenomenon goes beyond that of standard quantum thermalization, which only depends on the net build-up of entanglement between a subsystem and its complement.

• Energy-filtered quantum states and the emergence of non-local correlations [0.0]
  Energy-filtered quantum states are promising candidates for efficiently simulating thermal states. We explore a protocol designed to transition a product state into an eigenstate located in the middle of the spectrum. We show that the properties of the filtered states are locally indistinguishable from those of time-averaged density matrices.

• Solvable model of deep thermalization with distinct design times [0.0]
  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.

• Growth of entanglement of generic states under dual-unitary dynamics [77.34726150561087]
  Dual-unitary circuits are a class of locally-interacting quantum many-body systems. In particular, they admit a class of solvable" initial states for which, in the thermodynamic limit, one can access the full non-equilibrium dynamics. We show that in this case the entanglement increment during a time step is sub-maximal for finite times, however, it approaches the maximal value in the infinite-time limit.

  We introduce a family of neural quantum states for the simulation of strongly interacting systems in the presence of periodicity. For one-dimensional systems we find very precise estimations of the ground-state energies and the radial distribution functions of the particles. In two dimensions we obtain good estimations of the ground-state energies, comparable to results obtained from more conventional methods.

  We study thermalisation and spectral properties of extended systems connected, through their boundaries, to a thermalising Markovian bath. We show that the evolution of local observables and the spectral form factor are determined by the same quantum channel. We provide a perturbative characterisation of the dynamics and, in particular, of the time-scale for thermalisation.

• From ETH to algebraic relaxation of OTOCs in systems with conserved quantities [0.0]
  We show that the presence of local conserved quantities typically results in, at the fastest, an algebraic relaxation of the OTOC. Our result relies on the algebraic scaling of the infinite-time value of OTOCs with system size. We show that time-independence of the Hamiltonian is not necessary as the above conditions can occur in time-dependent systems.

  We develop an alternative theoretical framework for the thermodynamic analysis of two-level systems. We observe the appearance of a new term of work, which represents the energy cost of rotating the Bloch vector in presence of the external field that defines the local Hamiltonian. In order to illustrate our findings we study, from both perspectives, matter-radiation interaction processes for two different systems.

  An explicit expression for the temperature of an open two-level quantum system is obtained. 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.
