• Abstract: We uncover emergent universality arising in the equilibration dynamics of multimode continuous-variable systems. Specifically, we study the ensemble of pure states supported on a small subsystem of a few modes, generated by Gaussian measurements on the remaining modes of a globally pure bosonic Gaussian state. We find that beginning from sufficiently complex global states, such as random Gaussian states and product squeezed states coupled via a deep array of linear optical elements, the induced ensemble attains a universal form, independent of the choice of measurement basis: it is composed of unsqueezed coherent states whose displacements are distributed normally and isotropically, with variance depending on only the particle-number density of the system. We further show that the emergence of such a universal form is consistent with a generalized maximum entropy principle, which endows the limiting ensemble, which we call the "Gaussian Scrooge distribution", with a special quantum information-theoretic property of having minimal accessible information. Our results represent a conceptual generalization of the recently introduced notion of "deep thermalization" in discrete-variable quantum many-body systems -- a novel form of equilibration going beyond thermalization of local observables -- to the realm of continuous-variable quantum systems. Moreover, it demonstrates how quantum information-theoretic perspectives can unveil new physical phenomena and principles in quantum dynamics and statistical mechanics.

In particular we demonstrate that the property regulating the emergence of the canonical typicality behavior is the entropy of the channel used to define the generalized subsystem.

• Dynamical purification and the emergence of quantum state designs from the projected ensemble [0.0]
  Quantum thermalization in a many-body system is defined by the approach of local subsystems towards a universal form. Projected ensemble can mimic the behavior of a maximally entropic, uniformly random ensemble. We show that absence of dynamical purification in the space-time dual dynamics yields exact state-designs for all moments $k$ at the same time.

In two dimensions we obtain good estimations of the ground-state energies, comparable to results obtained from more conventional methods.

• Exact emergent quantum state designs from quantum chaotic dynamics [0.0]
  We consider an ensemble of pure states supported on a small subsystem, generated from projective measurements of the remainder of the system in a local basis. We rigorously show that the ensemble, derived for a class of quantum chaotic systems undergoing quench dynamics, approaches a universal form completely independent of system details. Our work establishes bridges between quantum many-body physics, quantum information and random matrix theory, by showing that pseudo-random states can arise from isolated quantum dynamics.
