Title: Spontaneous disentanglement and thermalisation
Authors: Eyal Buks,
Abstract summary: We find that the added nonlinear term enables limit cycle steady states, which are prohibited in standard quantum mechanics. This finding suggests that an experimental observation of such a limit cycle steady state can provide an important evidence supporting the spontaneous disentanglement hypothesis.

Abstract: The problem of quantum measurement can be partially resolved by incorporating a process of spontaneous disentanglement into quantum dynamics. We propose a modified master equation, which contains a nonlinear term giving rise to both spontaneous disentanglement and thermalisation. We find that the added nonlinear term enables limit cycle steady states, which are prohibited in standard quantum mechanics. This finding suggests that an experimental observation of such a limit cycle steady state can provide an important evidence supporting the spontaneous disentanglement hypothesis.

Quantum thermalization of translation-invariant systems at high temperature [0.0]
Quantum thermalization describes how closed quantum systems can effectively reach thermal equilibrium. Despite its ubiquity and conceptual significance, a complete proof of quantum thermalization has remained elusive for several decades. We prove that quantum thermalization must occur in any qubit system with local interactions satisfying three conditions.

Disentanglement-induced multistability [0.0]
Multistability is experimentally-observed in a variety of quantum systems. A master equation having a nonlinear term that gives rise to disentanglement has been recently proposed. Findings indirectly support the hypothesis that spontaneous disentanglement occurs in quantum systems.

Spontaneous collapse by entanglement suppression [0.0]
We study a recently proposed modified Schr"odinger equation having an added nonlinear term. We find that the deterministic time evolution generated by the modified Schr"odinger equation mimics the process of wavefunctionity. In the absence of entanglement, all predictions of standard quantum mechanics are unaffected by the added nonlinear term.

Measurement phase transitions in the no-click limit as quantum phase transitions of a non-hermitean vacuum [77.34726150561087]
We study phase transitions occurring in the stationary state of the dynamics of integrable many-body non-Hermitian Hamiltonians. We observe that the entanglement phase transitions occurring in the stationary state have the same nature as that occurring in the vacuum of the non-hermitian Hamiltonian.

We observe partial and infinite-temperature thermalization on a quantum superconducting processor. We show that the convergence does not tend to a completely mixed (infinite-temperature) state, but to a block-diagonal state in the observable basis.

Probing eigenstate thermalization in quantum simulators via fluctuation-dissipation relations [77.34726150561087]
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.
