Explore eigenstate thermalization in quantum systems with thermal phase transitions through this 43-minute conference talk delivered by Maksym Serbyn from IST Austria at the Kavli Institute for Theoretical Physics. Delve into the fundamental principles of how quantum many-body systems reach thermal equilibrium and examine the behavior of eigenstates across thermal phase transitions. Learn about the eigenstate thermalization hypothesis (ETH) and its implications for understanding thermalization in isolated quantum systems. Discover how thermal phase transitions affect the structure of energy eigenstates and their role in establishing thermal behavior. Gain insights into recent theoretical developments connecting quantum statistical mechanics, many-body localization, and phase transitions in quantum systems. Understand the interplay between quantum dynamics, thermalization, and critical phenomena in many-body quantum systems. This presentation is part of a broader conference focusing on novel quantum dynamics, interactive and monitored systems, and new directions in quantum statistical mechanics, bringing together diverse scientific communities to foster collaboration between theoretical and experimental approaches.
