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 …

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 …

Density propagator for many-body localization: Finite-size effects, transient subdiffusion, and exponential decay

S Bera, G De Tomasi, F Weiner, F Evers - Physical Review Letters, 2017 - APS
We investigate charge relaxation in quantum wires of spinless disordered fermions (tV
model). Our observable is the time-dependent density propagator Π ϵ (x, t), calculated in …

Quantum mutual information as a probe for many-body localization

G De Tomasi, S Bera, JH Bardarson, F Pollmann - Physical Review Letters, 2017 - APS
We demonstrate that the quantum mutual information (QMI) is a useful probe to study many-
body localization (MBL). First, we focus on the detection of a metal-insulator transition for two …

Long tail distributions near the many-body localization transition

DJ Luitz - Physical Review B, 2016 - APS
The random field S= 1 2 Heisenberg chain exhibits a dynamical many body localization
transition at a critical disorder strength, which depends on the energy density. At weak …

Efficiently solving the dynamics of many-body localized systems at strong disorder

G De Tomasi, F Pollmann, M Heyl - Physical Review B, 2019 - APS
We introduce a method to efficiently study the dynamical properties of many-body localized
systems in the regime of strong disorder and weak interactions. Our method reproduces …

Bimodal entanglement entropy distribution in the many-body localization transition

X Yu, DJ Luitz, BK Clark - Physical Review B, 2016 - APS
We introduce the cut-averaged entanglement entropy in disordered periodic spin chains and
prove it to be a concave function of subsystem size for individual eigenstates. This allows us …

Many-body localization transition: Schmidt gap, entanglement length, and scaling

J Gray, S Bose, A Bayat - Physical Review B, 2018 - APS
Many-body localization has become an important phenomenon for illuminating a potential
rift between nonequilibrium quantum systems and statistical mechanics. However, the …

Signatures of many-body localization in the dynamics of two-site entanglement

F Iemini, A Russomanno, D Rossini, A Scardicchio… - Physical Review B, 2016 - APS
We are able to detect clear signatures of dephasing—a distinct trait of many-body
localization (MBL)—via the dynamics of two-site entanglement, quantified through the …

Algebraic many-body localization and its implications on information propagation

G De Tomasi - Physical Review B, 2019 - APS
We probe the existence of a many-body localized phase (MBL phase) in a spinless
fermionic Hubbard chain with algebraically localized single-particle states, by investigating …
