[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 …

QCD thermalization: Ab initio approaches and interdisciplinary connections

J Berges, MP Heller, A Mazeliauskas… - Reviews of Modern …, 2021 - APS
Heavy-ion collisions at BNL's Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider and CERN's Large Hadron
Collider provide strong evidence for the formation of a quark-gluon plasma, with …

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 …

Entanglement transition from variable-strength weak measurements

M Szyniszewski, A Romito, H Schomerus - Physical Review B, 2019 - APS
We show that weak measurements can induce a quantum phase transition of interacting
many-body systems from an ergodic thermal phase with a large entropy to a nonergodic …

Quantum kicked rotor and its variants: Chaos, localization and beyond

MS Santhanam, S Paul, JB Kannan - Physics Reports, 2022 - Elsevier
Kicked rotor is a paradigmatic model for classical and quantum chaos in time-dependent
Hamiltonian systems. More than fifty years since the introduction of this model, there is an …

Adiabatic eigenstate deformations as a sensitive probe for quantum chaos

M Pandey, PW Claeys, DK Campbell, A Polkovnikov… - Physical Review X, 2020 - APS
In the past decades, it was recognized that quantum chaos, which is essential for the
emergence of statistical mechanics and thermodynamics, manifests itself in the effective …

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 …

Towards quantum simulation with circular Rydberg atoms

TL Nguyen, JM Raimond, C Sayrin, R Cortinas… - Physical Review X, 2018 - APS
The main objective of quantum simulation is an in-depth understanding of many-body
physics, which is important for fundamental issues (quantum phase transitions, transport,…) …

Spectral statistics and many-body quantum chaos with conserved charge

AJ Friedman, A Chan, A De Luca, JT Chalker - Physical Review Letters, 2019 - APS
We investigate spectral statistics in spatially extended, chaotic many-body quantum systems
with a conserved charge. We compute the spectral form factor K (t) analytically for a minimal …

Subdiffusion and many-body quantum chaos with kinetic constraints

H Singh, BA Ware, R Vasseur, AJ Friedman - Physical Review Letters, 2021 - APS
We investigate the spectral and transport properties of many-body quantum systems with
conserved charges and kinetic constraints. Using random unitary circuits, we compute …
