New characteristic of quantum many-body chaotic systems

An isolated quantum system in a pure state may be perceived as thermal if only a substantially small fraction of all degrees of freedom is probed. We propose that in a quantum chaotic many-body system all states with sufficiently small energy fluctuations are approximately thermal. We refer to this...
