TLDR
In the past decade, remarkable progress in the physics of closed quantum systems away from equilibrium, culminating in the recent experimental realization of so-called time crystals, has been made as discussed by the authors.
Abstract
Over the past decade, remarkable progress has occurred in the physics of closed quantum systems away from equilibrium, culminating in the recent experimental realization of so-called time crystals. This Progress Article surveys these developments.

Floquet prethermalization in a Bose-Hubbard system

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors experimentally study a bosonic cloud of ultracold atoms in a driven optical lattice and identify such a prethermal regime in the Bose-Hubbard model.

Phases and Dynamics of Ultracold Bosons in a Tilted Optical Lattice

TL;DR: In this paper , the authors present a brief overview of the phases and dynamics of ultracold bosons in an optical lattice in the presence of a tilt, and discuss the non-equilibrium dynamics of this model for quench, ramp, and periodic protocols with emphasis on the periodic drive which can be understood in terms of an analytic, albeit perturbative, Floquet Hamiltonian derived using Floquet perturbation theory.

Floquet states

TL;DR: In this article , the authors review fundamental aspects of Floquet states, and discuss recent topics and applications ofFloquet states in condensed matter physics, where effective (quasi)stationary states can emerge with external-field-dressed quasiparticles during driving.

Floquet-engineered chiral-induced spin selectivity

TL;DR: In this article , the authors used the Floquet theory for a time-periodically driven system to investigate spin-dependent electron transport in a two-terminal setup, and demonstrated that the spin polarization can approach unity if the light intensity is sufficiently strong, the rate of dephasing is sufficiently small, and the average chemical potential of the two leads is within an appropriate range of values, which is narrow because of the high frequency of the laser field.

Suppression of Interband Heating for Random Driving.

TL;DR: In this article , it was shown that for entire families of structured random drives known as random multipolar drives, particle excitation to higher bands can be well controlled even away from a high-frequency driving regime.

Many-Body Physics with Ultracold Gases

TL;DR: In this article, a review of recent experimental and theoretical progress concerning many-body phenomena in dilute, ultracold gases is presented, focusing on effects beyond standard weakcoupling descriptions, such as the Mott-Hubbard transition in optical lattices, strongly interacting gases in one and two dimensions, or lowest-Landau-level physics in quasi-two-dimensional gases in fast rotation.

The density-matrix renormalization group in the age of matrix product states

TL;DR: This paper gives a detailed exposition of current DMRG thinking in the MPS language in order to make the advisable implementation of the family of D MRG algorithms in exclusively MPS terms transparent.

The density-matrix renormalization group in the age of matrix product states

TL;DR: The density matrix renormalization group method (DMRG) has established itself over the last decade as the leading method for the simulation of the statics and dynamics of one-dimensional strongly correlated quantum lattice systems as mentioned in this paper.
Journal ArticleDOI

Chaos and quantum thermalization

TL;DR: It is shown that a bounded, isolated quantum system of many particles in a specific initial state will approach thermal equilibrium if the energy eigenfunctions which are superposed to form that state obey Berry's conjecture, and argued that these results constitute a sound foundation for quantum statistical mechanics.
Journal ArticleDOI

Thermalization and its mechanism for generic isolated quantum systems

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that a generic isolated quantum many-body system does relax to a state well described by the standard statistical-mechanical prescription, and it is shown that time evolution itself plays a merely auxiliary role in relaxation, and that thermalization instead happens at the level of individual eigenstates, as first proposed by Deutsch and Srednicki.
