From Bloch oscillations to many-body localization in clean interacting systems

E van Nieuwenburg, Y Baum… - Proceedings of the …, 2019 - National Acad Sciences
In this work we demonstrate that nonrandom mechanisms that lead to single-particle
localization may also lead to many-body localization, even in the absence of disorder. In …

Entanglement transitions from holographic random tensor networks

R Vasseur, AC Potter, YZ You, AWW Ludwig - Physical Review B, 2019 - APS
We introduce a class of phase transitions separating quantum states with different
entanglement features. An example of such an “entanglement phase transition” is provided …

Multiscale entanglement clusters at the many-body localization phase transition

L Herviou, S Bera, JH Bardarson - Physical Review B, 2019 - APS
We numerically study the formation of entanglement clusters across the many-body
localization transition. We observe a crossover from strong many-body entanglement in the …

Many-body localization in Fock space: A local perspective

DE Logan, S Welsh - Physical Review B, 2019 - APS
A canonical model for many-body localization (MBL) is studied, of interacting spinless
fermions on a lattice with uncorrelated quenched site disorder. The model maps onto a tight …

Statistics of correlation functions in the random Heisenberg chain

LA Colmenarez, PA McClarty, M Haque, DJ Luitz - SciPost Physics, 2019 - scipost.org
Ergodic quantum many-body systems satisfy the eigenstate thermalization hypothesis
(ETH). However, strong disorder can destroy ergodicity through many-body localization …

Magnetization dynamics in clean and disordered spin-1 XXZ chains

J Richter, N Casper, W Brenig, R Steinigeweg - Physical Review B, 2019 - APS
We study spin transport in the one-dimensional anisotropic S= 1 Heisenberg model.
Particular emphasis is given to dynamics at infinite temperature, where current …

Power-law entanglement growth from typical product states

TLM Lezama, DJ Luitz - Physical Review Research, 2019 - APS
Generic quantum many-body systems typically show a linear growth of the entanglement
entropy after a quench from a product state. While entanglement is a property of the wave …

Comparing many-body localization lengths via nonperturbative construction of local integrals of motion

P Peng, Z Li, H Yan, KX Wei, P Cappellaro - Physical Review B, 2019 - APS
Many-body localization (MBL), characterized by the absence of thermalization and the
violation of conventional thermodynamics, has elicited much interest both as a fundamental …

Suppressed energy transport in the strongly disordered Hubbard chain

M Kozarzewski, M Mierzejewski, P Prelovšek - Physical Review B, 2019 - APS
We study the dynamics of the energy fluctuations in the Hubbard chain with strong potential
disorder that preserves the SU (2) spin symmetry. Within the effective spin-only model that …

Prethermalization and localization in quantum spin chains

P Peng - 2019 - dspace.mit.edu
These results not only introduce a new protocol to measure out-of-time ordered correlations,
but also provide new insights in the study of prethermalization. Second, the role of …
