We demonstrate the role of interactions in driving the relaxation of an isolated integrable quantum system following a sudden quench. We consider a family of integrable hard-core lattice anyon models that continuously interpolates between noninteracting spinless fermions and strongly interacting hard-core bosons. A generalized Jordan-Wigner transformation maps the entire family to noninteracting fermions. We find that, aside from the singular free-fermion limit, the entire single-particle density matrix and, therefore, all one-body observables relax to the predictions of the generalized Gibbs ensemble (GGE). This demonstrates that, in the presence of interactions, correlations between particles in the many-body wave function provide the effective dissipation required to drive the relaxation of all one-body observables to the GGE. This relaxation does not depend on translational invariance or the tracing out of any spatial domain of the system.

Article Synopsis
- Recent advances in scattering amplitudes and worldline-based methods have improved our ability to calculate gravitational two-body scattering observables, important for understanding the weak-field high-velocity dynamics of black holes.
- The new inspiral-merger-ringdown waveform model SEOBNR-PM, designed for nonprecessing spinning black holes, builds on the SEOBNRv5 model used by LIGO-Virgo-KAGRA, incorporating a new effective-one-body Hamiltonian based on perturbative post-Minkowskian expansion.
- SEOBNR-PM shows excellent performance, with lower median mismatch against numerical relativity simulations and better agreement in binding energy compared to SEOBNRv5, despite the latter being more calibrated.

Nuclear energy levels are usually calculated using conventional diagonalization methods in the framework of the configuration-interaction (CI) shell model but these methods are prohibited in very large model spaces. The shell model Monte Carlo (SMMC) method is a powerful technique for calculating thermal and ground-state observables of nuclei in very large model spaces, but it is challenging to extract nuclear spectra in this approach. We present a novel method to extract within SMMC low-lying energy levels for given values of a set of good quantum numbers such as spin and parity.

Background: On 6 February 2023, two major earthquakes occurred in Turkey on the same day. More than 50,000 people died, and more than 100,000 people were injured in these earthquakes. The aim of this study is to contribute to disaster management plans by evaluating the functioning of a radiology department and the imaging examinations performed after this disaster.

Strong/static electronic correlation mediates the emergence of remarkable phases of matter, and underlies the exceptional reactivity properties in transition metal-based catalysts. Modeling strongly correlated molecules and solids calls for multi-reference Ansätze, which explicitly capture the competition of energy scales characteristic of such systems. With the efficient computational screening of correlated solids in mind, the ghost Gutzwiller (gGut) Ansatz has been recently developed.
