Band structure engineering and non-equilibrium dynamics in Floquet topological insulators

MS Rudner, NH Lindner - Nature reviews physics, 2020 - nature.com
Non-equilibrium topological phenomena can be induced in quantum many-body systems
using time-periodic fields (for example, by laser or microwave illumination). This Review …

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

F Alet, N Laflorencie - Comptes Rendus Physique, 2018 - Elsevier
What happens in an isolated quantum system when both disorder and interactions are
present? Over the recent years, the picture of a non-thermalizing phase of matter, the many …

Time-crystalline eigenstate order on a quantum processor

X Mi, M Ippoliti, C Quintana, A Greene, Z Chen, J Gross… - Nature, 2022 - nature.com
Quantum many-body systems display rich phase structure in their low-temperature
equilibrium states. However, much of nature is not in thermal equilibrium. Remarkably, it was …

Avalanches and many-body resonances in many-body localized systems

A Morningstar, L Colmenarez, V Khemani, DJ Luitz… - Physical Review B, 2022 - APS
We numerically study both the avalanche instability and many-body resonances in strongly
disordered spin chains exhibiting many-body localization (MBL). Finite-size systems behave …

Operator growth and Krylov construction in dissipative open quantum systems

A Bhattacharya, P Nandy, PP Nath, H Sahu - Journal of High Energy …, 2022 - Springer
A bstract Inspired by the universal operator growth hypothesis, we extend the formalism of
Krylov construction in dissipative open quantum systems connected to a Markovian bath …

Measurement-induced criticality in random quantum circuits

CM Jian, YZ You, R Vasseur, AWW Ludwig - Physical Review B, 2020 - APS
We investigate the critical behavior of the entanglement transition induced by projective
measurements in (Haar) random unitary quantum circuits. Using a replica approach, we …

Entanglement phase transitions in measurement-only dynamics

M Ippoliti, MJ Gullans, S Gopalakrishnan, DA Huse… - Physical Review X, 2021 - APS
Unitary circuits subject to repeated projective measurements can undergo an entanglement
phase transition (EPT) as a function of the measurement rate. This transition is generally …

Weak ergodicity breaking from quantum many-body scars

CJ Turner, AA Michailidis, DA Abanin, M Serbyn… - Nature Physics, 2018 - nature.com
The thermodynamic description of many-particle systems rests on the assumption of
ergodicity, the ability of a system to explore all allowed configurations in the phase space …

Probing entanglement in a many-body–localized system

A Lukin, M Rispoli, R Schittko, ME Tai, AM Kaufman… - Science, 2019 - science.org
An interacting quantum system that is subject to disorder may cease to thermalize owing to
localization of its constituents, thereby marking the breakdown of thermodynamics. The key …

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 …
