Abstract: We discuss the regularized boundary state $e^{-a{u}_{0}H}|Bangl{e}_a$ on two aspects in both 2D CFT and higher dimensional free field theory. One is its entanglement and correlation properties, which exhibit exponential decay in 2D CFT, the parameter $1/a{u}_0$ works as a mass scale. The other concerns with its time evolution, i.e., $e^{-itH}{e}^{-a{u}_{0}H}|Bangl{e}_a$. We investigate the Kubo-Martin-Schwinger (KMS) condition on correlation function of emph{local} operators to detect the thermal properties. Interestingly we find the correlation functions in the initial state $e^{-a{u}_{0}H}|Bangl{e}_a$ also partially satisfy the KMS condition. In the limit $toinfty$, the correlators will exactly satisfy the KMS condition. We generally analyse quantum quench by a pure state and obtain some constraints on the possible form of 2-point correlation function in the initial state if assuming they satisfies KMS condition in the final state . As a byproduct we find in an large $a{u}_0$ limit the thermal property of 2-point function in $e^{-a{u}_{0}H}|Bangl{e}_a$ also appears.
