body systems without quasiparticle excitations, and its connections to various theoretical …

Dynamics and transport at the threshold of many-body localization

S Gopalakrishnan, SA Parameswaran - Physics Reports, 2020 - Elsevier
Many-body localization (MBL) describes a class of systems that do not approach thermal
equilibrium under their intrinsic dynamics; MBL and conventional thermalizing systems form …

Entanglement phase transitions in measurement-only dynamics

M Ippoliti, MJ Gullans, S Gopalakrishnan, DA Huse… - Physical Review X, 2021 - APS
Unitary circuits subject to repeated projective measurements can undergo an entanglement
phase transition (EPT) as a function of the measurement rate. This transition is generally …

Quantum chaos challenges many-body localization

J Šuntajs, J Bonča, T Prosen, L Vidmar - Physical Review E, 2020 - APS
Characterizing states of matter through the lens of their ergodic properties is a fascinating
new direction of research. In the quantum realm, the many-body localization (MBL) was …

A semiclassical ramp in SYK and in gravity

P Saad, SH Shenker, D Stanford - arXiv preprint arXiv:1806.06840, 2018 - arxiv.org
In finite entropy systems, real-time partition functions do not decay to zero at late time.
Instead, assuming random matrix universality, suitable averages exhibit a growing" ramp" …

Thouless time analysis of Anderson and many-body localization transitions

P Sierant, D Delande, J Zakrzewski - Physical Review Letters, 2020 - APS
Spectral statistics of disordered systems encode Thouless and Heisenberg timescales,
whose ratio determines whether the system is chaotic or localized. We show that the scaling …

Exact spectral form factor in a minimal model of many-body quantum chaos

B Bertini, P Kos, T Prosen - Physical review letters, 2018 - APS
The most general and versatile defining feature of quantum chaotic systems is that they
possess an energy spectrum with correlations universally described by random matrix …
