New Equilibrium Ensembles for Isolated Quantum Systems
The unitary dynamics of isolated quantum systems does not allow a pure state to thermalize. Because of that, if an isolated quantum system equilibrates, it will do so to the predictions of the so-called “diagonal ensemble” ρ DE . Building on the intuition provided...
