• Abstract summary: We study experimentally accessible states in a system of bosonic atoms trapped in an open linear chain with disorder. We find that, within certain tolerances, most states in the chaotic region thermalize. However, states with low participation ratios in the energy eigenstate basis show greater deviations from thermal equilibrium values.

• Abstract: A detailed study of thermalization is conducted on experimentally accessible states in a system of bosonic atoms trapped in an open linear chain with disorder. When the disorder parameter is large, the system exhibits regularity and localization. In contrast, weak disorder introduces chaos and raises questions about the validity of the Eigenstate Thermalization Hypothesis (ETH), especially for states at the extremes of the energy spectrum which remain regular and non-thermalizing. The validity of ETH is assessed by examining the dispersion of entanglement entropy and the number of bosons on the first site across various dimensions, while maintaining a constant particle density of one. Experimentally accessible states in the occupation basis are categorized using a crowding parameter that linearly correlates with their mean energy. Using full exact diagonalization to simulate temporal evolution, we study the equilibration of entanglement entropy, the number of bosons, and the reduced density matrix of the first site for all states in the occupation basis. Comparing equilibrium values of these observables with those predicted by microcanonical ensembles, we find that, within certain tolerances, most states in the chaotic region thermalize. However, states with low participation ratios in the energy eigenstate basis show greater deviations from thermal equilibrium values.

• Out-of-equilibrium Eigenstate Thermalization Hypothesis [0.0]
  Understanding how out-of-equilibrium states thermalize under quantum unitary dynamics is an important problem in many-body physics. We propose a statistical ansatz for the matrix elements of non-equilibrium initial states in the energy eigenbasis. We numerically verify scaling and cross-correlation, point out the emergent universality of the high-frequency behavior, and outline possible generalizations.

  We experimentally observe Hilbert space fragmentation (HSF) in a two-dimensional tilted Bose-Hubbard model. We find uniform initial states with equal particle number and energy differ strikingly in their relaxation dynamics. Our results mark the first observation of HSF beyond one dimension, as well as the concomitant direct observation of fractons.

  We study the entanglement properties of free fermions on a one-dimensional lattice that contains a generic charge- and energy-conserving noninteracting impurity. We show that all these measures scale linearly with the overlap between one subsystem and the mirror image of the other. While a simple proportionality relation between the negativity and R'enyi versions of the mutual information is observed to hold at zero temperature, it breaks down at finite temperatures.
