From Bloch oscillations to many-body localization in clean interacting systems
In this work we demonstrate that nonrandom mechanisms that lead to single-particle
localization may also lead to many-body localization, even in the absence of disorder. In …

Digital quantum simulation, trotter errors, and quantum chaos of the kicked top
This work aims at giving Trotter errors in digital quantum simulation (DQS) of collective spin

Prethermalization without temperature
While a clean, driven system generically absorbs energy until it reaches “infinite
temperature,” it may do so very slowly exhibiting what is known as a prethermal regime …

Exponentially slow heating in short and long-range interacting Floquet systems
We analyze the dynamics of periodically driven (Floquet) Hamiltonians with short and long-

Prethermal fragmentation in a periodically driven fermionic chain
We study a fermionic chain with nearest-neighbor hop** and density-density interactions,
