The Possibility of Quantum Thermalization in an Isolated Molecule
By Elijah Smith, Ariel Zimmer Faculty Mentor: Dr. Makhija Abstract According to the Eigenstates Thermalization Hypothesis (ETH), a wavepacket of energy eigenstates of a system undergoing unitary time evolution will eventually be well-described by statistical mechanics. Research on quantum asymmetric tops, rigid bodies which have three different moments of inertia along their principal axes, has…
