Eigenstate thermalization in the Sachdev-Ye-Kitaev model

Abstract The eigenstate thermalization hypothesis (ETH) explains how closed unitary quantum systems can exhibit thermal behavior in pure states. In this work we examine a recently proposed microscopic model of a black hole in AdS2, the so-called Sachdev-Ye-Kitaev (SYK) model. We show that this model...
