An estimate of the equilibration time based on the operator growth hypothesis — •Merlin Füllgraf, Jiaozi Wang, and Jochen Gemmer — Universität Osnabrück
We study the equilibration times Teq of local observables in quantum chaotic systems by considering their auto-correlation functions. Based on the recursion method, we suggest a scheme to estimate Teq from the corresponding Lanczos coefficients. We numerically find that, if an observable follows the operator growth hypothesis, a finite number of Lanczos coefficients is sufficient for a reasonable estimate of the equilibration time. This implies that equilibration occurs on a realistic time scale much shorter than the life of the universe. The numerical findings are further supported by analytical arguments.
