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 …

Ergodicity breaking transition in finite disordered spin chains

J Šuntajs, J Bonča, T Prosen, L Vidmar - Physical Review B, 2020 - APS
We study disorder-induced ergodicity breaking transition in high-energy eigenstates of
interacting spin-1/2 chains. Using exact diagonalization, we introduce a cost function …

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 …

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 …

Constraint-induced delocalization

P Sierant, EG Lazo, M Dalmonte, A Scardicchio… - Physical Review Letters, 2021 - APS
We study the impact of quenched disorder on the dynamics of locally constrained quantum
spin chains, that describe 1D arrays of Rydberg atoms in both the frozen (Ising-type) and …

Violation of Eigenstate Thermalization Hypothesis in Quantum Field Theories with Higher-Form Symmetry

O Fukushima, R Hamazaki - Physical Review Letters, 2023 - APS
We elucidate how the presence of higher-form symmetries affects the dynamics of
thermalization in isolated quantum systems. Under reasonable assumptions, we analytically …

Extracting many-body localization lengths with an imaginary vector potential

S Heußen, CD White, G Refael - Physical Review B, 2021 - APS
One challenge of studying the many-body localization transition is defining the length scale
that diverges upon the transition to the ergodic phase. In this manuscript we explore the …

Ergodicity breaking with long-range cavity-induced quasiperiodic interactions

P Kubala, P Sierant, G Morigi, J Zakrzewski - Physical Review B, 2021 - APS
Many-body localization (MBL) behavior is analyzed in an extended Bose-Hubbard model
with quasiperiodic infinite-range interactions. No additional disorder is assumed. The …

Signatures of many-body localization in the dynamics of two-level systems in glasses

C Artiaco, F Balducci, A Scardicchio - Physical Review B, 2021 - APS
We investigate the quantum dynamics of two-level systems (TLS) in glasses at low
temperatures (1 K and below). We study an ensemble of TLSs coupled to phonons. By …

[LIBRO][B] Superinsulators, Bose Metals and High-Tc Superconductors: The Quantum Physics of Emergent Magnetic Monopoles

CA Trugenberger - 2022 - World Scientific
Superinsulation is dual superconductivity. Already in the 70s, Nambu [1], Mandelstam [2]
and 't Hooft [3] proposed their model of dual superconductivity as a possible explanation of …
