• Abstract: Quantum thermalization in contemporary quantum devices, in particular quantum computers, has recently attracted significant theoretical interest. Unusual thermalization processes, such as the Quantum Mpemba Effect (QME), have been explored theoretically. However, there is a shortage of experimental results due to the difficulty in preparing thermal states. In this paper, we propose a method to address this challenge. Moreover, we experimentally validate our approach using IBM quantum devices, providing results for unusal relaxation in equidistant quenches as predicted for the IBM qubit. We also assess the formalism introduced for the QME, obtaining results consistent with the theoretical predictions. This demonstration underscores that our method can streamline the investigation of thermal states and thermalization in quantum physics.

We digitally prepare the system in pairwise-entangled dimer states and image the transport of energy and vorticity during thermalization.
