Integrability versus Thermalizability in Isolated Quantum Systems

ORAL

Abstract

The purpose of this presentation is to propose a rigorous measure of the degree of quantum thermalizability, consistent with the expected empirical manifestations of it. As a practical application of this measure, we devise a unified recipe for choosing an optimal set of conserved quantities to govern the after-relaxation values of observables, in both integrable quantum systems and in quantum systems in between integrable and thermalizable.
