Some speculations about local thermalization of nonequilibrium extended quantum systems
We discuss the possibility of defining an emergent local temperature in extended quantum many-body systems evolving out of equilibrium. For the most simple case of free-fermionic systems, we give an explicit formula for the effective temperature in the case of, not necessarily unitary, Gaussian pres...
