Nonequilibrium boundary-driven quantum systems: Models, methods, and properties

GT Landi, D Poletti, G Schaller - Reviews of Modern Physics, 2022 - APS
Recent years have seen tremendous progress in the theoretical understanding of quantum
systems driven dissipatively by coupling to different baths at their edges. This was possible …

[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 …

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 …

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 …

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 …

Spin transport in a tunable Heisenberg model realized with ultracold atoms

PN Jepsen, J Amato-Grill, I Dimitrova, WW Ho… - Nature, 2020 - nature.com
Simple models of interacting spins have an important role in physics. They capture the
properties of many magnetic materials, but also extend to other systems, such as bosons …

Quantum Zeno effect and the many-body entanglement transition

Y Li, X Chen, MPA Fisher - Physical Review B, 2018 - APS
We introduce and explore a one-dimensional “hybrid” quantum circuit model consisting of
both unitary gates and projective measurements. While the unitary gates are drawn from a …

Measurement-induced transition in long-range interacting quantum circuits

M Block, Y Bao, S Choi, E Altman, NY Yao - Physical Review Letters, 2022 - APS
The competition between scrambling unitary evolution and projective measurements leads
to a phase transition in the dynamics of quantum entanglement. Here, we demonstrate that …

Quantum chaos challenges many-body localization

J Šuntajs, J Bonča, T Prosen, L Vidmar - Physical Review E, 2020 - APS
Characterizing states of matter through the lens of their ergodic properties is a fascinating
new direction of research. In the quantum realm, the many-body localization (MBL) was …
