Thermalization of Strongly Disordered Nonlinear Chains

preprint2011arXivOpen access

Abstract

Thermalization of systems described by the discrete non-linear Schrödinger equation, in the strong disorder limit, is investigated both theoretically and numerically. We show that introducing correlations in the disorder potential, while keeping the "effective" disorder fixed (as measured by the localization properties of wavepacket dynamics), strongly facilitate the thermalization process and lead to a standard grand canonical distribution of the probability norms associated to each site
