Statistical mechanics provides a framework for describing the physics of large, complex
many-body systems using only a few macroscopic parameters to determine the state of the …

Many-body localized (MBL) systems fail to reach thermal equilibrium under their own
dynamics, even though they are interacting, nonintegrable, and in an extensively excited …

Interacting many-body quantum systems and their dynamics, while fundamental to modern
science and technology, are formidable to simulate and understand. However, by …

A fundamental principle of chaotic quantum dynamics is that local subsystems eventually
approach a thermal equilibrium state. Large subsystems thermalize slower: their approach …

Optical box traps offer new possibilities for quantum-gas experiments. Building on their
exquisite spatial and temporal control, we propose to engineer system-reservoir …

In the field of ergodicity-breaking phases, it has been recognized that quantum avalanches
can destabilize many-body localization at a wide range of disorder strengths. This has in …

A central theoretical issue at the core of the current research on many-body localization
(MBL) consists in characterizing the statistics of rare long-range resonances in many-body …

The quantum sun model is an interacting model that exhibits sharp signatures of ergodicity
breaking phase transition. Here, we show that the model exhibits a many-body mobility …

We study the XXZ model with a random magnetic field in contact with a weakly disordered
spin chain, acting as a finite thermal bath. We revise Fermi's golden rule description of the …

We investigate the effect of ergodic inclusions in putative many-body localized systems. We
consider the random field Heisenberg chain, which is many-body localized at strong …
