Towards equilibration and thermalization between finite quantum systems: Unitary emulation of dephasing effects and inelastic interactions
Using a unitary time evolution scheme, we demonstrate an approach towards a Gibbs-like equilibrium state, with a common temperature and a chemical potential, of two metallic grains connected by a weak link prepared with a different number of noninteracting electrons. This unitary equilibration is achieved by coupling the link to …
