--- _id: '10221' abstract: - lang: eng 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). acknowledgement: Open access funding provided by Institute of Science and Technology (IST Austria). article_processing_charge: Yes (via OA deal) article_type: original author: - first_name: Giorgio full_name: Cipolloni, Giorgio id: 42198EFA-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87 last_name: Cipolloni orcid: 0000-0002-4901-7992 - first_name: László full_name: Erdös, László id: 4DBD5372-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87 last_name: Erdös orcid: 0000-0001-5366-9603 - first_name: Dominik J full_name: Schröder, Dominik J id: 408ED176-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87 last_name: Schröder orcid: 0000-0002-2904-1856 citation: ama: Cipolloni G, Erdös L, Schröder DJ.
