Abstract

Reimann [Phys. Rev. Lett. 101, 190403 (2008)] claimed that generic isolated
macroscopic quantum system will equilibrate under experimentally realistic
conditions by proving a theorem. We here show that the proof is invalid for
most many-body systems and is unable to demonstrate equilibration in realistic
experiment.
