Event Details & Abstracts

Abstract: Thermalization in open quantum systems has recently attracted attention from quantum information and quantum chaos. Today, I will first formulate thermalization in terms of Lindbladians and, as a bonus, present a quantum algorithm that efficiently emulates this process.  Second, we show fast convergence assuming the Eigenstate Thermalization Hypothesis (ETH). The talk is based on joint works with Fernando Brandao and with Andras Gilyen and Michael Kastoryano.
