Descrição: Quantum physics Experiments on ultracold atoms reveal that disorder doesn't stop a quantum system of interacting particles from reaching thermal equilibrium. Writing in Nature Physics, Leonard et al.s demonstrate that this is indeed the case in a system in which ultracold rubidium atoms mimic particles moving through a disordered solid. For the system with the six-site thermal region, the entropy of the site closest to the interface was the first to increase, followed by that of successive neighbouring sites (Fig. 1b).
