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 …

Measurement of the mobility edge for 3D Anderson localization

G Semeghini, M Landini, P Castilho, S Roy… - Nature Physics, 2015 - nature.com
Anderson localization is a universal phenomenon affecting non-interacting quantum
particles in a disordered environment. In three spatial dimensions, theory predicts a …

Long-lived interacting phases of matter protected by multiple time-translation symmetries in quasiperiodically driven systems

DV Else, WW Ho, PT Dumitrescu - Physical Review X, 2020 - APS
We show how a large family of interacting nonequilibrium phases of matter can arise from
the presence of multiple time-translation symmetries, which occur by quasiperiodically …

Dynamics at the many-body localization transition

EJ Torres-Herrera, LF Santos - Physical Review B, 2015 - APS
The isolated one-dimensional Heisenberg model with static random magnetic fields has
become paradigmatic for the analysis of many-body localization. Here, we study the …

Multifractal finite-size scaling and universality at the Anderson transition

A Rodriguez, LJ Vasquez, K Slevin, RA Römer - Physical Review B …, 2011 - APS
We describe a new multifractal finite-size scaling (MFSS) procedure and its application to
the Anderson localization-delocalization transition. MFSS permits the simultaneous …

Quantum simulation of disordered systems with cold atoms

This paper reviews the physics of quantum disorder in relation with a series of experiments
using laser-cooled atoms exposed to “kicks” of a standing wave, realizing a paradigmatic …

Experimental test of universality of the Anderson transition

M Lopez, JF Clément, P Szriftgiser, JC Garreau… - Physical Review Letters, 2012 - APS
We experimentally test the universality of the Anderson three dimensional metal-insulator
transition, using a quasiperiodic atomic kicked rotor. Nine sets of parameters controlling the …

Interaction-driven breakdown of dynamical localization in a kicked quantum gas

A Cao, R Sajjad, H Mas, EQ Simmons, JL Tanlimco… - Nature Physics, 2022 - nature.com
Quantum interference can limit energy absorption in a continually kicked system through a
single-particle ergodicity-breaking mechanism known as dynamical localization,. The effect …

Atom-optics simulator of lattice transport phenomena

EJ Meier, FA An, B Gadway - Physical Review A, 2016 - APS
We experimentally investigate a scheme for studying lattice transport phenomena, based on
the controlled momentum-space dynamics of ultracold atomic matter waves. In the effective …

Quantized adiabatic transport in momentum space

DYH Ho, J Gong - Physical review letters, 2012 - APS
Though topological aspects of energy bands are known to play a key role in quantum
transport in solid-state systems, the implications of Floquet band topology for transport in …
