[HTML][HTML] Many-body localization: An introduction and selected topics

F Alet, N Laflorencie - Comptes Rendus Physique, 2018 - Elsevier
What happens in an isolated quantum system when both disorder and interactions are
present? Over the recent years, the picture of a non-thermalizing phase of matter, the many …

Dynamical phase transitions in the collisionless pre-thermal states of isolated quantum systems: theory and experiments

J Marino, M Eckstein, MS Foster… - Reports on Progress in …, 2022 - iopscience.iop.org
We overview the concept of dynamical phase transitions (DPTs) in isolated quantum
systems quenched out of equilibrium. We focus on non-equilibrium transitions characterized …

Simulating lattice gauge theories within quantum technologies

MC Banuls, R Blatt, J Catani, A Celi, JI Cirac… - The European physical …, 2020 - Springer
Lattice gauge theories, which originated from particle physics in the context of Quantum
Chromodynamics (QCD), provide an important intellectual stimulus to further develop …

Observing non-ergodicity due to kinetic constraints in tilted Fermi-Hubbard chains

S Scherg, T Kohlert, P Sala, F Pollmann… - Nature …, 2021 - nature.com
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 …

Ergodicity breaking arising from Hilbert space fragmentation in dipole-conserving Hamiltonians

P Sala, T Rakovszky, R Verresen, M Knap, F Pollmann - Physical Review X, 2020 - APS
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 …

Weak ergodicity breaking from quantum many-body scars

CJ Turner, AA Michailidis, DA Abanin, M Serbyn… - Nature Physics, 2018 - nature.com
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 …

Quantum scarred eigenstates in a Rydberg atom chain: Entanglement, breakdown of thermalization, and stability to perturbations

CJ Turner, AA Michailidis, DA Abanin, M Serbyn… - Physical Review B, 2018 - APS
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 …

Thouless time analysis of Anderson and many-body localization transitions

P Sierant, D Delande, J Zakrzewski - Physical Review Letters, 2020 - APS
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 …

Measurement-induced criticality in -dimensional hybrid quantum circuits

X Turkeshi, R Fazio, M Dalmonte - Physical Review B, 2020 - APS
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 …

From Bloch oscillations to many-body localization in clean interacting systems

E van Nieuwenburg, Y Baum… - Proceedings of the …, 2019 - National Acad Sciences
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 …
