RESUMEN
The eigenstate thermalization hypothesis for translation invariant quantum spin systems has been proved recently by using random matrices. In this paper, we study the subsystem version of the eigenstate thermalization hypothesis for translation invariant quantum systems without referring to random matrices. We first find a relation between the quantum variance and the Belavkin-Staszewski relative entropy. Then, by showing the small upper bounds on the quantum variance and the Belavkin-Staszewski relative entropy, we prove the subsystem eigenstate thermalization hypothesis for translation invariant quantum systems with an algebraic speed of convergence in an elementary way. The proof holds for most of the translation invariant quantum lattice models with exponential or algebraic decays of correlations.
