Boundaries of quantum thermalization

PhD Retreat
21 - 23 January 2025

The behavior of (isolated) quantum many-body systems taken out-of-equilibrium is an open question of great interest for many experimental and theoretical studies. The DFG research unit FOR 5522 investigates this physics in a close collaboration between experiments using ultracold atoms and theoretical approaches. This PhD retreat is a platform to encourage discussions and networking between students from the FOR 5522 research unit. Two invited lectures will further students’ knowledge of current experimental developments and deepen their theoretical understanding of the field.

Topics include

  • out-of-equilibrium quantum many body systems
  • Hilbert space fragmentation
  • many body localization
  • quantum many body scars
  • kinetic constraints
  • numerical methods
  • ultracold quantum gases
  • quantum simulation
  • thermalization
  • ergodicity
  • eigenstate thermalization hypothesis

  • Philipp Preiss, MPQ Garching
  • Maxim Serbyn, IST Austria
