This approach is used to study quenches in one-dimensional lattices. We provide evidence that, in the thermodynamic limit, thermalization occurs in the nonintegrable regime but fails at integrability. A phase transitionlike behavior separates the two regimes.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v3", "updated": "2014-04-29T15:34:34.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "05.70.Ln", "02.30.Ik", "03.75.Kk", "05.30.Jp" ], "keywords": [ "thermodynamic limit", "study quantum quenches", "phase transitionlike behavior separates", "computational approach", "lattice systems" ], "tags": [ "journal article" ], "publication": { "publisher": "APS", "journal": "Physical Review Letters", "year": 2014, "month": "May", "volume": 112, "number": 17, "pages": 170601 }, "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 8, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2014PhRvL.112q0601R" } } }
