Many-body localization in the age of classical computing

P Sierant, M Lewenstein, A Scardicchio… - Reports on Progress …, 2025 - iopscience.iop.org
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 …

Challenges to observation of many-body localization

P Sierant, J Zakrzewski - Physical Review B, 2022 - APS
We study time dynamics of 1D disordered Heisenberg spin-1/2 chains focusing on a regime
of large system sizes and a long-time evolution. This regime is relevant for observation of …

Rare thermal bubbles at the many-body localization transition from the Fock space point of view

G De Tomasi, IM Khaymovich, F Pollmann, S Warzel - Physical Review B, 2021 - APS
In this paper we study the many-body localization (MBL) transition and relate it to the
eigenstate structure in the Fock space. Besides the standard entanglement and multifractal …

Unitarity breaking in self-averaging spectral form factors

AS Matsoukas-Roubeas, M Beau, LF Santos… - Physical Review A, 2023 - APS
The complex Fourier transform of the two-point correlator of the energy spectrum of a
quantum system is known as the spectral form factor (SFF). It constitutes an essential …

Universality in Anderson localization on random graphs with varying connectivity

P Sierant, M Lewenstein, A Scardicchio - SciPost Physics, 2023 - scipost.org
We perform a thorough and complete analysis of the Anderson localization transition on
several models of random graphs with regular and random connectivity. The unprecedented …

Stability of many-body localization in Floquet systems

P Sierant, M Lewenstein, A Scardicchio, J Zakrzewski - Physical Review B, 2023 - APS
We study many-body localization (MBL) transition in disordered Floquet systems using a
polynomially filtered exact diagonalization (POLFED) algorithm. We focus on disordered …

Proposal for many-body quantum chaos detection

AK Das, C Cianci, DGA Cabral… - arxiv preprint arxiv …, 2024 - arxiv.org
In this work, the term``quantum chaos''refers to spectral correlations similar to those found in
the random matrix theory. Quantum chaos can be diagnosed through the analysis of level …

Many-body mobility edge in quantum sun models

K Pawlik, P Sierant, L Vidmar, J Zakrzewski - Physical Review B, 2024 - APS
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 …

Catching thermal avalanches in the disordered XXZ model

T Szołdra, P Sierant, M Lewenstein, J Zakrzewski - Physical Review B, 2024 - APS
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 …

Multifractality and self-averaging at the many-body localization transition

A Solórzano, LF Santos, EJ Torres-Herrera - Physical Review Research, 2021 - APS
Finite-size effects have been a major and justifiable source of concern for studies of many-
body localization, and several works have been dedicated to the subject. In this Letter …
