Chaos and spatial prethermalization in driven-dissipative bosonic chains
Chaos and spatial prethermalization in driven-dissipative bosonic chains
Thermalization in quantum many-body systems, the process by which they naturally evolve toward thermal equilibrium, typically unfolds over timescales set by the underlying relaxation mechanisms. Yet, the spatial aspect of thermalization in these systems is less understood. We investigate this phenomenon within the nonequilibrium steady state (NESS) of a Bose-Hubbard …
