text: We prove that any deterministic matrix is approximately the identity in the
eigenbasis of a large random Wigner matrix with very high probability and with
an optimal error inversely proportional to the square root of the dimension. Our
theorem thus rigorously verifies the Eigenstate Thermalisation Hypothesis by Deutsch
(Phys Rev A 43:2046–2049, 1991) for the simplest chaotic quantum system, the Wigner
ensemble. In mathematical terms, we prove the strong form of Quantum Unique Ergodicity
(QUE) with an optimal convergence rate for all eigenvectors simultaneously, generalizing
previous probabilistic QUE results in Bourgade and Yau (Commun Math Phys 350:231–278,
2017) and Bourgade et al. (Commun Pure Appl Math 73:1526–1596, 2020).
