Title: Thermalization via three-wave mixing
Authors: Jukka P. Pekola, Bayan Karimi,
Abstract summary: We discuss thermalization in a multimode quantum cavity under unitary evolution. We find that three-wave perturbations, typical for instance in superconducting Josephson systems, may lead to thermalization into a Bose-Einstein distribution of occupations of the modes.

Abstract: We discuss thermalization in a multimode quantum cavity under unitary evolution. According to general principles, an isolated system with quadratic couplings does not exhibit thermalization. However, we find that three-wave perturbation, typical for instance in superconducting Josephson systems, may lead to thermalization into a Bose-Einstein distribution of occupations of the modes. The temperature of this state is dictated by energy conservation in this closed system, and the thermal distribution is robust against weak disturbances. We discuss how our findings open up new avenues to experimentally probe fundamental assumptions of statistical physics in solid-state systems.

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.

Thermodynamic Roles of Quantum Environments: From Heat Baths to Work Reservoirs [49.1574468325115]
Environments in quantum thermodynamics usually take the role of heat baths. We show that within the same model, the environment can take three different thermodynamic roles. The exact role of the environment is determined by the strength and structure of the coupling.

Open-system eigenstate thermalization in a noninteracting integrable model [0.0]
We argue that even in fully integrable models, the system observables exhibit thermalization when the system-bath setup is in a typical eigenstate of its Hamiltonian. Our findings suggest that chaos and nonintegrability are not the sole drivers of thermalization.

Heat transport in an optical lattice via Markovian feedback control [0.0]
We use Markovian feedback control to synthesize two effective thermal baths that couple to the boundaries of a one-dimensional Bose-Hubbard chain. We investigate the steady-state heat current, including its scaling with system size and its response to disorder. We provide a route for the quantum simulation of heat-current-carrying steady states of matter in atomic quantum gases.

Floquet-heating-induced Bose condensation in a scar-like mode of an open driven optical-lattice system [62.997667081978825]
We show that the interplay of bath-induced dissipation and controlled Floquet heating can give rise to non-equilibrium Bose condensation. Our predictions are based on a microscopic model that is solved using kinetic equations of motion derived from Floquet-Born-Markov theory.

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.

Out-of-equilibrium quantum thermodynamics in the Bloch sphere: temperature and internal entropy production [68.8204255655161]
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.
