Abstract

Over the past decade, there has been remarkable progress in our understanding of equilibration, thermalization and prethermalization, due in large part to experimental breakthroughs in ultracold atomic gases. These advances have made it possible to investigate how isolated quantum systems thermalize and why certain special many-body states do not. An overview on recent theoretical and experimental developments is given. The past decade has witnessed remarkable progress in our understanding of equilibration, thermalization and prethermalization, due in large part to experimental breakthroughs in ultracold atomic gases. This Review discusses theoretical and experimental advances on these topics and the challenges ahead.
