A Rigorous Theory of Many-Body Prethermalization for Periodically Driven and Closed Quantum Systems
Open accessAbstract
Prethermalization refers to the transient phenomenon where a system thermalizes according to a Hamiltonian that is not the generator of its evolution. We provide here a rigorous framework for quantum spin systems where prethermalization is exhibited for very long times. First, we consider quantum spin systems under periodic driving at high frequency $${\nu}$$ν. We prove that up to a quasi-exponential time $${\tau_* \sim {\rm e}^{c \frac{\nu}{\log^3 \nu}}}$$τ∗∼ecνlog3ν, the system barely absorbs energy. Instead, there is an effective local Hamiltonian $${\widehat D}$$D^ that governs the time evolution up to $${\tau_*}$$τ∗, and hence this effective Hamiltonian is a conserved quantity up to $${\tau_*}$$τ∗. Next, we consider systems without driving, but with a separation of energy scales in the Hamiltonian. A prime example is the Fermi–Hubbard model where the interaction U is much larger than the hopping J. Also here we prove the emergence of an effective conserved quantity, different from the Hamiltonian, up to a time $${\tau_*}$$τ∗ that is (almost) exponential in $${U/J}$$U/J.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
