Equilibration, thermalisation, and the emergence of statistical mechanics in closed quantum systems

C Gogolin, J Eisert - Reports on Progress in Physics, 2016 - iopscience.iop.org
We review selected advances in the theoretical understanding of complex quantum many-
body systems with regard to emergent notions of quantum statistical mechanics. We cover …

Emergence of steady currents due to strong prethermalization

X Xu, C Guo, D Poletti - Physical Review A, 2023 - APS
A steady current between baths is a manifestation of the prethermalization phenomenon, a
quasiequilibrium dynamic process with weak breaking of conserved quantities. We consider …

Quantum computing for classical problems: variational quantum eigensolver for activated processes

P Pravatto, D Castaldo, F Gallina, B Fresch… - New Journal of …, 2021 - iopscience.iop.org
The theory of stochastic processes impacts both physical and social sciences. At the
molecular scale, stochastic dynamics is ubiquitous because of thermal fluctuations. The …

Signatures of Anderson localization and delocalized random quantum states

GJ Moro, G Dall'Osto, B Fresch - Chemical Physics, 2018 - Elsevier
We consider the notion of equilibration for an isolated quantum system exhibiting Anderson
localization. The system is assumed to be in a pure state, ie, described by a wave-function …

Quantum molecular trajectory and its statistical properties

F Avanzini, GJ Moro - The Journal of Physical Chemistry A, 2017 - ACS Publications
Despite the quantum nature of molecules, classical mechanics is often employed to describe
molecular motions that play a fundamental role in a wide range of phenomena including …

Pilot-Wave Quantum Theory with a Single Bohm's Trajectory

F Avanzini, B Fresch, GJ Moro - Foundations of Physics, 2016 - Springer
The representation of a quantum system as the spatial configuration of its constituents
evolving in time as a trajectory under the action of the wave-function, is the main objective of …

Quantum Stochastic Trajectories: The Fokker–Planck–Bohm Equation Driven by the Reduced Density Matrix

F Avanzini, GJ Moro - The Journal of Physical Chemistry A, 2018 - ACS Publications
The quantum molecular trajectory is the deterministic trajectory, arising from the Bohm
theory, that describes the instantaneous positions of the nuclei of molecules by assuring the …

Quantum stochastic trajectories: the Smoluchowski–Bohm equation

F Avanzini, GJ Moro - Physical Chemistry Chemical Physics, 2018 - pubs.rsc.org
Molecular systems are quantum systems, but the complete characterization of molecular
motions within a fully quantum framework might appear to be an unfeasible task because it …

Thermal Pure States for Finite and Isolated Quantum Systems

M Coden, E Nale, GJ Moro… - The Journal of Physical …, 2017 - ACS Publications
We study an ensemble of quantum pure states, the thermalization resilient ensemble (TRE),
providing the statistical characterization of the thermal equilibrium of isolated quantum …
