[HTML][HTML] Many-body localization: An introduction and selected topics

F Alet, N Laflorencie - Comptes Rendus Physique, 2018 - Elsevier
What happens in an isolated quantum system when both disorder and interactions are
present? Over the recent years, the picture of a non-thermalizing phase of matter, the many …

Colloquium: Many-body localization, thermalization, and entanglement

DA Abanin, E Altman, I Bloch, M Serbyn - Reviews of Modern Physics, 2019 - APS
Thermalizing quantum systems are conventionally described by statistical mechanics at
equilibrium. However, not all systems fall into this category, with many-body localization …

Observation of slow dynamics near the many-body localization transition in one-dimensional quasiperiodic systems

HP Lüschen, P Bordia, S Scherg, F Alet, E Altman… - Physical review …, 2017 - APS
In the presence of sufficiently strong disorder or quasiperiodic fields, an interacting many-
body system can fail to thermalize and become many-body localized. The associated …

Critical properties of the many-body localization transition

V Khemani, SP Lim, DN Sheng, DA Huse - Physical Review X, 2017 - APS
The transition from a many-body localized phase to a thermalizing one is a dynamical
quantum phase transition that lies outside the framework of equilibrium statistical …

Ergodicity breaking transition in finite disordered spin chains

J Šuntajs, J Bonča, T Prosen, L Vidmar - Physical Review B, 2020 - APS
We study disorder-induced ergodicity breaking transition in high-energy eigenstates of
interacting spin-1/2 chains. Using exact diagonalization, we introduce a cost function …

Nonequilibrium quantum dynamics and transport: from integrability to many-body localization

R Vasseur, JE Moore - Journal of Statistical Mechanics: Theory …, 2016 - iopscience.iop.org
We review the non-equilibrium dynamics of many-body quantum systems after a quantum
quench with spatial inhomogeneities, either in the Hamiltonian or in the initial state. We …

Rare thermal bubbles at the many-body localization transition from the Fock space point of view

G De Tomasi, IM Khaymovich, F Pollmann, S Warzel - Physical Review B, 2021 - APS
In this paper we study the many-body localization (MBL) transition and relate it to the
eigenstate structure in the Fock space. Besides the standard entanglement and multifractal …

A constructive theory of the numerically accessible many-body localized to thermal crossover

P Crowley, A Chandran - SciPost Physics, 2022 - scipost.org
The many-body localised (MBL) to thermal crossover observed in exact diagonalisation
studies remains poorly understood as the accessible system sizes are too small to be in an …

Kosterlitz-Thouless scaling at many-body localization phase transitions

PT Dumitrescu, A Goremykina, SA Parameswaran… - Physical Review B, 2019 - APS
We propose a scaling theory for the many-body localization (MBL) phase transition in one
dimension, building on the idea that it proceeds via a “quantum avalanche.” We argue that …

Many-body physics in the nisq era: Quantum programming a discrete time crystal

M Ippoliti, K Kechedzhi, R Moessner, SL Sondhi… - PRX Quantum, 2021 - APS
Recent progress in the realm of noisy intermediate-scale quantum (NISQ) devices [J.
Preskill, Quantum 2, 79 (2018)] represents an exciting opportunity for many-body physics by …
