Ergodicity breaking transition in finite disordered spin chains

J Šuntajs, J Bonča, T Prosen, L Vidmar - Physical Review B, 2020 - APS
We study disorder-induced ergodicity breaking transition in high-energy eigenstates of
interacting spin-1/2 chains. Using exact diagonalization, we introduce a cost function …

Interaction-Driven Instabilities in the Random-Field Chain

Detecting delocalization-localization transitions from full density distributions

M Hopjan, G Orso, F Heidrich-Meisner - Physical Review B, 2021 - APS
Characterizing the delocalization transition in closed quantum systems with a many-body
localized phase is a key open question in the field of nonequilibrium physics. We exploit the …

Short-range interactions are irrelevant at the quasiperiodicity-driven Luttinger liquid to Anderson glass transition

We show that short-range interactions are irrelevant around gapless ground-state
delocalization-localization transitions driven by quasiperiodicity in interacting fermionic …

Multifractality and Fock-space localization in many-body localized states: One-particle density matrix perspective

T Orito, KI Imura - Physical Review B, 2021 - APS
Many-body localization (MBL) is well characterized in Fock space. To quantify the degree of
this Fock-space localization, the multifractal dimension D q is employed; it has been claimed …

Exploring one-particle orbitals in large many-body localized systems

B Villalonga, X Yu, DJ Luitz, BK Clark - Physical Review B, 2018 - APS
Strong disorder in interacting quantum systems can give rise to the phenomenon of many-
body localization (MBL), which defies thermalization due to the formation of an extensive …

Breaking the chains: extreme value statistics and localization in random spin chains

J Colbois, N Laflorencie - Physical Review B, 2023 - APS
Despite a very good understanding of single-particle Anderson localization in one-
