[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 …

Quantum chaos challenges many-body localization

J Šuntajs, J Bonča, T Prosen, L Vidmar - Physical Review E, 2020 - APS
Characterizing states of matter through the lens of their ergodic properties is a fascinating
new direction of research. In the quantum realm, the many-body localization (MBL) was …

Dynamical obstruction to localization in a disordered spin chain

D Sels, A Polkovnikov - Physical Review E, 2021 - APS
We analyze a one-dimensional XXZ spin chain in a disordered magnetic field. As the main
probes of the system's behavior, we use the sensitivity of eigenstates to adiabatic …

Multifractal scalings across the many-body localization transition

N Macé, F Alet, N Laflorencie - Physical review letters, 2019 - APS
In contrast with Anderson localization where a genuine localization is observed in real
space, the many-body localization (MBL) problem is much less understood in Hilbert space …

Ergodicity breaking transition in finite disordered spin chains

J Šuntajs, J Bonča, T Prosen, L Vidmar - Physical Review B, 2020 - APS
We study disorder-induced ergodicity breaking transition in high-energy eigenstates of
interacting spin-1/2 chains. Using exact diagonalization, we introduce a cost function …

Local integrals of motion in many‐body localized systems

JZ Imbrie, V Ros, A Scardicchio - Annalen der Physik, 2017 - Wiley Online Library
We review the current (as of Fall 2016) status of the studies on the emergent integrability in
many‐body localized models. We start by explaining how the phenomenology of fully many …

The ergodic side of the many‐body localization transition

DJ Luitz, YB Lev - Annalen der Physik, 2017 - Wiley Online Library
Recent studies point towards nontriviality of the ergodic phase in systems exhibiting many‐
body localization (MBL), which shows subexponential relaxation of local observables …

K Agarwal, E Altman, E Demler… - Annalen der …, 2017 - Wiley Online Library
The low‐frequency response of systems near the many‐body localization phase transition,
on either side of the transition, is dominated by contributions from rare regions that are …
