From quantum chaos and eigenstate thermalization to statistical mechanics and thermodynamics

L D'Alessio, Y Kafri, A Polkovnikov, M Rigol - Advances in Physics, 2016 - Taylor & Francis
This review gives a pedagogical introduction to the eigenstate thermalization hypothesis
(ETH), its basis, and its implications to statistical mechanics and thermodynamics. In the first …

One-dimensional mixtures of several ultracold atoms: a review

T Sowiński, MÁ García-March - Reports on Progress in Physics, 2019 - iopscience.iop.org
Recent theoretical and experimental progress on studying one-dimensional systems of
bosonic, fermionic, and Bose–Fermi mixtures of a few ultracold atoms confined in traps is …

From few to many: Observing the formation of a Fermi sea one atom at a time

AN Wenz, G Zürn, S Murmann, I Brouzos, T Lompe… - Science, 2013 - science.org
Knowing when a physical system has reached sufficient size for its macroscopic properties
to be well described by many-body theory is difficult. We investigated the crossover from few …

Enhanced tripartite interactions in spin-magnon-mechanical hybrid systems

XL Hei, PB Li, XF Pan, F Nori - Physical Review Letters, 2023 - APS
Coherent tripartite interactions among degrees of freedom of completely different nature are
instrumental for quantum information and simulation technologies, but they are generally …

Dipolar quantum mixtures of erbium and dysprosium atoms

A Trautmann, P Ilzhöfer, G Durastante, C Politi… - Physical Review Letters, 2018 - APS
We report on the first realization of heteronuclear dipolar quantum mixtures of highly
magnetic erbium and dysprosium atoms. With a versatile experimental setup, we …

Few-body physics with ultracold atomic and molecular systems in traps

D Blume - Reports on Progress in Physics, 2012 - iopscience.iop.org
Few-body physics has played a prominent role in atomic, molecular and nuclear physics
since the early days of quantum mechanics. It is now possible—thanks to tremendous …

Dynamics of single neutral impurity atoms immersed in an ultracold gas

N Spethmann, F Kindermann, S John, C Weber… - Physical review …, 2012 - APS
We report on controlled doping of an ultracold Rb gas with single neutral Cs impurity atoms.
Elastic two-body collisions lead to a rapid thermalization of the impurity inside the Rb gas …

Orthogonality catastrophe as a consequence of qubit embedding in an ultracold Fermi gas

J Goold, T Fogarty, N Lo Gullo, M Paternostro… - Physical Review A …, 2011 - APS
We investigate the behavior of a two-level atom coupled to a one-dimensional, ultracold
Fermi gas. The sudden switching on of the scattering between the two entities leads to the …

Quantifying, characterizing, and controlling information flow in ultracold atomic gases

P Haikka, S McEndoo, G De Chiara, GM Palma… - Physical Review A …, 2011 - APS
We study quantum information flow in a model comprised of a trapped impurity qubit
immersed in a Bose-Einstein-condensed reservoir. We demonstrate how information flux …

Observation of the phononic Lamb shift with a synthetic vacuum

T Rentrop, A Trautmann, FA Olivares, F Jendrzejewski… - Physical Review X, 2016 - APS
In contrast to classical empty space, the quantum vacuum fundamentally alters the
properties of embedded particles. This paradigm shift allows one to explain the discovery of …
