Foundation of quantum statistical mechanics and eigenstate thermalization hypothesis

Note: 10 AM SCI 352: Special Day/Time/Place
Speaker: Tatsuhiko Ikeda, University of Tokyo

When: October 3, 2012 (Wed), 10:00AM to 11:00AM (add to my calendar)
Location: SCI 352
Hosted by: Anatoli Polkovnikov

This event is part of the Condensed Matter Theory Seminar Series.

abstract: As a justification of the microcanonical ensemble based on the principle of quantum mechanics,

the eigenstate thermalization hypothesis has recently attracted much attention. In this talk, we briefly review
this subject and provide a verification of it with a one-dimensional Bose-gas.
