Description

<p>The origin of irreversibility is one of the most fundamental questions in theoretical physics, ever since the seminal consideration of Boltzmann. In this decade, thermalization of isolated quantum systems has attracted renewed attentions, in light of modern experiments such as ultracold atoms. In this article, we review the recent progress in this field, and discuss our theoretical result: the second law of thermodynamics and the fluctuation theorem for many-body pure quantum states.</p>
