SUMMARY:Dynamics of Thermalization in nanoscale systems
DESCRIPTION:Featuring Derek Lee\, Imperial College\, London\nHosted by: Luc
	a D'Alessio\n\nPart of the Condensed Matter Theory Seminar Series.\n\nWe st
	udy the decoherence and thermalization dynamics of a nanoscale system coupl
	ed nonperturbatively to a fully quantum-mechanical bath. The system is prep
	ared out of equilibrium in a pure state of the complete system. We propose 
	a random matrix model and show analytically that there are two robust tempo
	ral regimes in the approach of the system to equilibrium-an initial Gaussia
	n decay followed by an exponential tail\, consistent with numerical results
	 on small interacting lattices.
