Explore the role of locality in equilibration timescales of isolated quantum systems in this 46-minute conference talk by Michael Kastner from Stellenbosch University. Delivered as part of the "Exploring Non-equilibrium Long-range Quantum Matter" conference at the Kavli Institute for Theoretical Physics, delve into cutting-edge research on quantum many-body systems with long-range interactions. Gain insights into novel phases, out-of-equilibrium phenomena, and the bridging of perspectives from diverse research communities. Examine topics such as equilibration, thermalization, transport, entanglement dynamics, and dynamically stabilized phases in quantum matter experiments.
