Foundation of Statistical Mechanics under Experimentally Realistic Conditions
Prof. Dr. Peter Reimann (Institut für Physik, Universität Bielefeld)

We demonstrate equilibration of isolated macroscopic quantum systems, prepared in non-equilibrium mixed states with significant population of many energy levels, and observed by instruments with a reasonably bound working range compared to the resolution limit.
Both properties are fulfilled under many, if not all, experimentally realistic conditions.
