Conclusions NLCEs provide a general framework to study the diagonal ensemble in lattice systems after a quantum quench in the thermodynamic limit. NLCE results suggest that few-body observables thermalize in nonintegrable systems while they do not thermalize in integrable systems. As one approaches the integrable point DE-NLCEs behave as NLCEs for equilibrium systems approaching a phase transition. This suggests that a transition to thermalization may occur as soon as one breaks integrability. The GGE based on known local conserved quantities does not describe observables after relaxation, while the QA does, as suggested by the NLCE results. New things to be learned about integrable systems! Marcos Rigol (Penn State) NLCEs for the diagonal ensemble October 9, 204 29 / 34
