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 …

Polynomially filtered exact diagonalization approach to many-body localization

P Sierant, M Lewenstein, J Zakrzewski - Physical Review Letters, 2020 - APS
Polynomially filtered exact diagonalization method (POLFED) for large sparse matrices is
introduced. The algorithm finds an optimal basis of a subspace spanned by eigenvectors …

Resonance-induced growth of number entropy in strongly disordered systems

We study the growth of the number entropy SN in one-dimensional number-conserving
interacting systems with strong disorder, which are believed to display many-body …

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

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 …

Many-body localization of bosons in an optical lattice: Dynamics in disorder-free potentials

R Yao, J Zakrzewski - Physical Review B, 2020 - APS
The phenomenon of many-body Stark localization of bosons in tilted optical lattice is studied.
Despite the fact that no disorder is necessary for Stark localization to occur, it is very similar …

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 …

Unusual wave-packet spreading and entanglement dynamics in non-Hermitian disordered many-body systems

T Orito, KI Imura - Physical Review B, 2022 - APS
Non-Hermiticity and dephasing, collaborating in an unusual wave-packet dynamics, realize
unconventional entanglement evolution in a disordered, interacting, and asymmetric …

Mobility edge in long-range interacting many-body localized systems

R Yousefjani, A Bayat - Physical Review B, 2023 - APS
As disorder strength increases in quantum many-body systems a new phase of matter, the
so-called many-body localization, emerges across the whole spectrum. This transition is …
