Prethermalization without canonical transformations — Marc Alexander and •Marcus Kollar — Theoretische Physik III, Universität Augsburg

Weakly quenched quantum systems often exhibit a prethermalization regime on short to intermediate time scales, which is usually derived using canonical transformations [1,2]. We show how to skip this step and directly obtain the transient behavior, the long-time average, and the dressed constants of motion for arbitrary time-dependent protocols. We apply these results to fermionic Hubbard models for a variety of time-dependent perturbations.
