Probing entanglement in a many-body–localized system

A Lukin, M Rispoli, R Schittko, ME Tai, AM Kaufman… - Science, 2019 - science.org
An interacting quantum system that is subject to disorder may cease to thermalize owing to
localization of its constituents, thereby marking the breakdown of thermodynamics. The key …

Observation of interaction-induced mobility edge in an atomic Aubry-André wire

Y Wang, JH Zhang, Y Li, J Wu, W Liu, F Mei, Y Hu… - Physical Review Letters, 2022 - APS
A mobility edge, a critical energy separating localized and extended excitations, is a key
concept for understanding quantum localization. The Aubry-André (AA) model, a paradigm …

Variational quantum algorithms for nonlinear problems
