Title:
Non-thermal states in the non-integrable Ising field theory

Speaker:
Neil Robinson

Abstract:
Truncated spectrum methods can give numerical access to the low-lying eigenstates in strongly perturbed quantum field theories. Following an introduction to these methods, I will discuss recent work with Andrew James (UCL) and Robert Konik (BNL) where we use truncated spectrum methods to study properties of the low-lying eigenstates and non equilibrium dynamics in the non-integrable Ising field theory. We find that there are rare non-thermal states, and I will discuss the nature of these states.
