The generalized Gibbs ensemble (GGE), which involves multiple conserved quantities other than the Hamiltonian, has served as the statistical-mechanical description of the long-time behavior for several isolated integrable quantum systems. We argue that the GGE may involve a noncommutative set of conserved quantities in view of the maximum entropy principle and show that the GGE thus generalized (noncommutative GGE, NCGGE) gives a more qualitatively accurate description of the long-time behaviors than that of the conventional GGE. Providing a clear understanding of why the (NC)GGE well describes the long-time behaviors, we construct, for noninteracting models, the exact NCGGE that describes the long-time behaviors without an error even at finite system size. It is noteworthy that the NCGGE involves nonlocal conserved quantities, which can be necessary for describing long-time behaviors of local observables. We also give some extensions of the NCGGE and demonstrate how accurately they describe the long-time behaviors of few-body observables.
We have reconstructed a vacuum ultraviolet beamline BL-7 for solid state and surface science covering a photon energy range of 10-160 eV. A set of four spherical grating are used which are designed to cover the energy range of 10-20 eV, 20-40 eV, 40-80 eV, and 80-160 eV, respectively. The lower limit of the photon energy was extended for the investigation of surface electronic structures which typically have a photoexcitation cross section maxima at 10-20 eV. The higher limit was extended for the access of many important core levels such as 2p of Si and 3s/3d of transition metals. The photon flux was evaluated by the photocurrent measurement. The energy range were greatly extended compared to that of the previous one. The spot size of the zeroth-order light at the sample surface was 1.25 mm (horizontal) x 0.32 mm (vertical). Furthermore, a newly designed display-type spherical mirror analyzer was installed at the end station.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
