Colloquium: Quantum and classical discrete time crystals
The spontaneous breaking of time-translation symmetry has led to the discovery of a new
phase of matter: the discrete time crystal. Discrete time crystals exhibit rigid subharmonic …

Avalanches and many-body resonances in many-body localized systems
We numerically study both the avalanche instability and many-body resonances in strongly
disordered spin chains exhibiting many-body localization (MBL). Finite-size systems behave …

Eigenstate thermalization hypothesis
JM Deutsch - Reports on Progress in Physics, 2018 - iopscience.iop.org
The emergence of statistical mechanics for isolated classical systems comes about through
chaotic dynamics and ergodicity. Here we review how similar questions can be answered in …

Speed limits and locality in many-body quantum dynamics
We review the mathematical speed limits on quantum information processing in many-body
systems. After the proof of the Lieb–Robinson Theorem in 1972, the past two decades have …

Entanglement phase transitions in measurement-only dynamics
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 …

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 …

Operator spreading and the emergence of dissipative hydrodynamics under unitary evolution with conservation laws
V Khemani, A Vishwanath, DA Huse - Physical Review X, 2018 - APS
We study the scrambling of local quantum information in chaotic many-body systems in the
presence of a locally conserved quantity like charge or energy that moves diffusively. The …
