Outline of Final Research Achievements |
I have mainly studied time evolution of two isolated quantum subsystems that are created by coherently splitting a single quantum system. In particular, I have investigated the mechanism of "entanglement prethermalization", which occurs when the quantum entanglement between the subsystems prevents the total system from reaching the thermal equilibrium. I have studied two models, the interacting two harmonic oscillators and the Tomonaga-Luttinger model, and identified the statistical-mechanical ensemble which describes the quasi-stationary state after entanglement prethermalizaiton. The ensemble has turned out to be the generalized Gibbs ensemble, where the nonlocal conserved quantities acting on both subsystems are taken into consideration.
