1303.3795 (Mario Collura et al.)

Equilibration of a Tonks-Girardeau gas following a trap release    [PDF]

Mario Collura, Spyros Sotiriadis, Pasquale Calabrese
We study the non-equilibrium dynamics of a Tonks-Girardeau gas released from a parabolic trap to a circle. We present the exact analytic solution of the many body dynamics and prove that, for large times and in a properly defined thermodynamic limit, the reduced density matrix of any finite subsystem converges to a generalized Gibbs ensemble. The equilibration mechanism is expected to be the same for all one-dimensional systems.
