We overview the concept of dynamical phase transitions (DPTs) in isolated quantum systems quenched out of equilibrium. We focus on non-equilibrium transitions characterized …
Lattice gauge theories, which originated from particle physics in the context of Quantum Chromodynamics (QCD), provide an important intellectual stimulus to further develop …
The thermalization of isolated quantum many-body systems is deeply related to fundamental questions of quantum information theory. While integrable or many-body localized systems …
We show that the combination of charge and dipole conservation—characteristic of fracton systems—leads to an extensive fragmentation of the Hilbert space, which, in turn, can lead …
The thermodynamic description of many-particle systems rests on the assumption of ergodicity, the ability of a system to explore all allowed configurations in the phase space …
Recent realization of a kinetically constrained chain of Rydberg atoms by Bernien,[Nature (London) 551, 579 (2017) NATUAS 0028-0836 10.1038/nature24622] resulted in the …
Spectral statistics of disordered systems encode Thouless and Heisenberg timescales, whose ratio determines whether the system is chaotic or localized. We show that the scaling …
We investigate the dynamics of two-dimensional quantum spin systems under the combined effect of random unitary gates and local projective measurements. When considering steady …
In this work we demonstrate that nonrandom mechanisms that lead to single-particle localization may also lead to many-body localization, even in the absence of disorder. In …
