Prethermalization and Thermalization in Isolated Quantum Systems

Prethermalization has been extensively studied in systems close to integrability. We propose a more general, yet conceptually simpler, setup for this phenomenon. We consider a—possibly nonintegrable—reference dynamics, weakly perturbed so that the perturbation breaks at least one conservation law of...
