Time fluctuations in isolated quantum systems of interacting particles.

Numerically, we study the time fluctuations of few-body observables after relaxation in isolated dynamical quantum systems of interacting particles. Our results suggest that they decay exponentially with system size in both regimes, integrable and chaotic. The integrable systems considered are solvable with the Bethe ansatz and have a highly nondegenerate spectrum.

Thermalization and quantum correlations in exactly solvable models.

The generalized Gibbs ensemble introduced for describing few-body correlations in exactly solvable systems following a quantum quench is related to the nonergodic way in which operators sample, in the limit of infinite time after the quench, the quantum correlations present in the initial state. The nonergodicity of the correlations is thus shown analyticallyto imply the equivalence with the generalized Gibbs ensemble for quantum Ising and XX spin chains as well as for the Luttinger model the thermodynamic limit, and for a broad class of initial states and correlation functions of both local and nonlocal operators.

Mapping of the anisotropic two-channel Anderson model onto a Fermi-Majorana biresonant level model.

We establish the correspondence between an extended version of the two-channel Anderson model and a particular type of biresonant level model. For certain values of the parameters the new model becomes quadratic. We calculate in closed form the entropy and impurity occupation as functions of temperature and identify the different physical energy scales of the problem.
