This type of behavior occurs, for example,

I will give an introductory talk on continuous quantum walks

[:is]Math Phys seminar Fyrirlesari: Jorge Laraña Aragon,University of Stockholm Titill: Quenched coupling, effective thermalization and evanescence in the free $O(N)$ vector model Staðsetning: VR-II, V-156Tími: Fimmtudag 15.ágúst kl. 14:00 Ágrip: In this project we study two coupled free $O(N)$ vector models implementing the coupling via a quench of mixing. Since the theory is integrable pure thermalization
