Dynamical obstruction to localization in a disordered spin chain
D Sels, A Polkovnikov - Physical Review E, 2021 - APS
We analyze a one-dimensional XXZ spin chain in a disordered magnetic field. As the main
probes of the system's behavior, we use the sensitivity of eigenstates to adiabatic …

Adiabatic eigenstate deformations as a sensitive probe for quantum chaos
In the past decades, it was recognized that quantum chaos, which is essential for the
emergence of statistical mechanics and thermodynamics, manifests itself in the effective …

Universality in the onset of quantum chaos in many-body systems
We show that the onset of quantum chaos at infinite temperature in two many-body one-
dimensional lattice models, the perturbed spin-1/2 XXZ and Anderson models, is …

Speck of chaos
It has been shown that, despite being local, a perturbation applied to a single site of the one-
dimensional XXZ model is enough to bring this interacting integrable spin-1/2 system to the …

Eigenstate thermalization for observables that break Hamiltonian symmetries and its counterpart in interacting integrable systems
We study the off-diagonal matrix elements of observables that break the translational
symmetry of a spin-chain Hamiltonian, and as such connect energy eigenstates from …

Suppression of Pulsed Dynamic Nuclear Polarization by Many-Body Spin Dynamics
We study a mechanism by which nuclear hyperpolarization due to the polarization transfer
from a microwave-pulse-controlled electron spin is suppressed. From analytical and …

Metastable discrete time-crystal resonances in a dissipative central spin system
We consider the nonequilibrium behavior of a central spin system where the central spin is
periodically reset to its ground state. The quantum-mechanical evolution under this …

Shortcuts to dynamic polarization
Dynamic polarization protocols aim to hyperpolarize a spin bath by transferring spin
polarization from a well-controlled qubit such as a quantum dot or a color defect. Building on …
