Abstract According to the concept of typicality, an ensemble average can be accurately approximated by an expectation value with respect to a single pure state drawn at random from a high-dimensional Hilbert space. This random-vector approximation, or trace estimator, provides a powerful approach to, e.g. thermodynamic quantities for systems with large Hilbert-space sizes, which usually cannot be treated exactly, analytically or numerically. Here, we discuss the finite-size scaling of the…

Entanglement of mid-spectrum eigenstates of chaotic many-body systems -- deviation from random ensembles

• Physics
• 2020
Eigenstates of local many-body interacting systems that are far from spectral edges are thought to be ergodic and close to being random states. This is consistent with the eigenstate thermalization

A statistical method to estimate densities of states (DOS) and thermodynamic functions of very large Hamiltonian matrices and the resulting kernel estimate is a controlled approximation to the true DOS, because it also provides estimates of statistical and systematic errors.

A rigorous estimate is derived of the statistical error of the equation of motion method, due to Alben et al, to compute the eigenvalue distribution of very large matrices, supporting earlier observations that the computational efficiency of this approach increases with the matrix size.

The proposed thermal pure quantum state methods by Sugiura and Shimizu are proposed to use to compute dynamical spectral functions of interacting quantum models at finite temperatures, and it is demonstrated that the proposed procedure is reasonably accurate, even for relatively small systems.
