abstract
The eigenstate thermalization hypothesis (ETH) explains how generic quantum many-body systems thermalize internally. It implies that local operators' time-averaged expectation values approximately equal their thermal expectation values, regardless of microscopic details. The ETH's range of applicability therefore impacts theory and experiments. Murthy $\textit{et al.}$ recently showed that non-Abelian symmetries conflict with the ETH. Such symmetries have excited interest in quantum thermodynamics lately, as they are equivalent to conserved quantities that fail to commute with each other and noncommutation is a quintessentially quantum phenomenon. Murthy $\textit{et al.}$ proposed a non-Abelian ETH, which we support numerically. The numerics model a one-dimensional (1D) next-nearest-neighbor Heisenberg chain of 18 qubits. We represent local operators with matrices relative to an energy eigenbasis. The matrices bear out seven predictions of the non-Abelian ETH. We also prove analytically that the non-Abelian ETH exhibits a self-consistency property. The proof relies on a thermodynamic-entropy definition different from that in Murthy $\textit{et al.}$ This work initiates the observation and application of the non-Abelian ETH.

Eigenstate Thermalization Hypothesis with projective representation
For systems with projective symmetry representations, the paper proposes a modified ETH and shows that charged operators with symmetry-supplied charges thermalize to a generalized Gibbs ensemble, not the ordinary Gibb...

Non-classicality at equilibrium and efficient predictions under non-commuting charges
Equilibrium distributions of coarse observables under non-commuting charges are shown to follow a generalized Boltzmann form with weak values, and anomalous weak values reveal non-classicality at equilibrium.

Work and entropy of mixing in isolated quantum systems
Mixing entropy is identified with observational entropy, yielding a Landauer-like work-difference bound with an observational temperature, and a resolution of the Gibbs mixing paradox in isolated quantum systems.

Eigenstate thermalization
Eigenstate thermalization, motivated by random-matrix theory and Haar-random volume-law entanglement, accounts for thermalization of isolated quantum systems and is illustrated by spin-1 XXZ numerics.
