The world of quantum physics is full of mysteries. One big mystery is how quantum systems that are super chaotic can still act like they're in a state of balance. Scientists have been trying to figure this out with something called the Eigenstate Thermalization Hypothesis, or ETH for short. Now, the
In the world of quantum physics, understanding how systems behave is crucial. One key idea is the Eigenstate Thermalization Hypothesis (ETH). It suggests that individual quantum states can represent the thermal properties of a system. But what about systems that are always changing, not in balance?
Quantum systems in the condensed phase often show complex behaviors. This is due to a memory effect called non-Markovianity. Unlike its simpler, memoryless counterpart, non-Markovianity makes these systems harder to understand. Many chemical systems have shown signs of this complex behavior through
You know how the LSM theorem works in closed systems, right? It's like a rule that says certain spin chains can't have a single, non-degenerate ground state. But what happens when these systems aren't closed anymore? They interact with their environment, and things get a bit messy. Imagine you're l
