Exploring the many-body localization transition in two dimensions

J Choi, S Hild, J Zeiher, P Schauß, A Rubio-Abadal… - Science, 2016 - science.org
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 …

Critical behavior and fractality in shallow one-dimensional quasiperiodic potentials

H Yao, A Khoudli, L Bresque, L Sanchez-Palencia - Physical review letters, 2019 - APS
Quasiperiodic systems offer an appealing intermediate between long-range ordered and
genuine disordered systems, with unusual critical properties. One-dimensional models that …

Observation of a disordered bosonic insulator from weak to strong interactions

C D'Errico, E Lucioni, L Tanzi, L Gori, G Roux… - Physical review …, 2014 - APS
We employ ultracold atoms with controllable disorder and interaction to study the
paradigmatic problem of disordered bosons in the full disorder-interaction plane. Combining …

Mott transition for a Lieb-Liniger gas in a shallow quasiperiodic potential: Delocalization induced by disorder

H Yao, L Tanzi, L Sanchez-Palencia, T Giamarchi… - Physical Review Letters, 2024 - APS
Disorder or quasidisorder is known to favor localization in many-body Bose systems. Here,
in contrast, we demonstrate an anomalous delocalization effect induced by …

Mott transition for strongly interacting one-dimensional bosons in a shallow periodic potential

G Boéris, L Gori, MD Hoogerland, A Kumar, E Lucioni… - Physical Review A, 2016 - APS
We investigate the superfluid-insulator transition of one-dimensional interacting bosons in
both deep and shallow periodic potentials. We compare a theoretical analysis based on …

Quantum many-body scars in the Bose-Hubbard model with a three-body constraint

R Kaneko, M Kunimi, I Danshita - Physical Review A, 2024 - APS
We uncover the exact athermal eigenstates in the Bose-Hubbard (BH) model with a three-
body constraint, motivated by the exact construction of quantum many-body scar (QMBS) …

Entropy of the quantum work distribution

A Kiely, E O'Connor, T Fogarty, GT Landi… - Physical Review …, 2023 - APS
The statistics of work done on a quantum system can be quantified by the two-point
measurement scheme. We show how the Shannon entropy of the work distribution admits a …

Delocalization of weakly interacting bosons in a 1D quasiperiodic potential

VP Michal, BL Altshuler, GV Shlyapnikov - Physical review letters, 2014 - APS
We consider weakly interacting bosons in a 1D quasiperiodic potential (Aubry-Azbel-Harper
model) in the regime where all single-particle states are localized. We show that the …

Localization transition in weakly interacting Bose superfluids in one-dimensional quasiperdiodic lattices

S Lellouch, L Sanchez-Palencia - Physical Review A, 2014 - APS
We study the localization of collective pair excitations in weakly interacting Bose superfluids
in one-dimensional quasiperiodic lattices. The localization diagram is first determined …

Equilibration dynamics of strongly interacting bosons in 2D lattices with disorder

M Yan, HY Hui, M Rigol, VW Scarola - Physical review letters, 2017 - APS
Motivated by recent optical lattice experiments [J.-y. Choi, Science 352, 1547 (2016)
SCIEAS 0036-8075 10.1126/science. aaf8834], we study the dynamics of strongly …
