Towards a more fundamental understanding of eigenstate thermalization

ORAL

Abstract

We explore several venues how eigenstate thermalization may be understood on a more fundamental level. In particular, we report on extensive numerical work in spin systems with random interactions, where a small subsystem is subject to thermalization. We discuss possible directions towards an understanding of our numerical results.
