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 …

Characterizing out-of-equilibrium many-body dynamics is a complex but crucial task for
quantum applications and understanding fundamental phenomena. A central question is the …

Thermalizing quantum systems are conventionally described by statistical mechanics at
equilibrium. However, not all systems fall into this category, with many-body localization …

Lessons from Anderson localization highlight the importance of the dimensionality of real
space for localization due to disorder. More recently, studies of many-body localization have …

The law of statistical physics dictates that generic closed quantum many-body systems
initialized in nonequilibrium will thermalize under their own dynamics. However, the …

A fundamental assumption in statistical physics is that generic closed quantum many-body
systems thermalize under their own dynamics. Recently, the emergence of many-body …

The combination of strong disorder and interactions in closed quantum systems can lead to
many-body localization (MBL). However, this quantum phase is not stable when the system …

Phase transitions are driven by collective fluctuations of a system's constituents that emerge
at a critical point. This mechanism has been extensively explored for classical and quantum …

Many-body localization (MBL), the disorder-induced localization of interacting particles,
signals a breakdown of conventional thermodynamics because MBL systems do not …

In the presence of disorder, an interacting closed quantum system can undergo many-body
localization (MBL) and fail to thermalize. However, over long times, even weak couplings to …
