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

F Alet, N Laflorencie - Comptes Rendus Physique, 2018 - Elsevier

Distinguishing localization from chaos: Challenges in finite-size systems

DA Abanin, JH Bardarson, G De Tomasi… - Annals of Physics, 2021 - Elsevier
We re-examine attempts to study the many-body localization transition using measures that

Many-body localization edge in the random-field Heisenberg chain

DJ Luitz, N Laflorencie, F Alet - Physical Review B, 2015 - APS
We present a large-scale exact diagonalization study of the one-dimensional spin-1/2
Heisenberg model in a random magnetic field. In order to access properties at varying …

Universal dynamics and renormalization in many-body-localized systems

E Altman, R Vosk - Annu. Rev. Condens. Matter Phys., 2015 - annualreviews.org

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

Probing many-body quantum chaos with quantum simulators

LK Joshi, A Elben, A Vikram, B Vermersch, V Galitski… - Physical Review X, 2022 - APS
The spectral form factor (SFF), characterizing statistics of energy eigenvalues, is a key
diagnostic of many-body quantum chaos. In addition, partial spectral form factors (PSFFs) …

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 …
