We discuss the possibility of defining an emergent local temperature in extended quantum many-body systems evolving out of equilibrium. For the most simple case of free-fermionic systems, we give an explicit formula for the effective temperature in the case of, not necessarily unitary, Gaussian preserving dynamics. In this framework, we consider the hopping fermions on a one-dimensional lattice submitted to randomly distributed projective measurements of the local occupation numbers. We show from the average over many quantum trajectories that the effective temperature relaxes exponentially towards infinity.

    The paper derives the exact Wigner-function propagator for a BGK-type kinetic equation with dephasing noise, showing it equals the probability density of classical run-and-tumble particles with uniformly randomized momenta.
