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

F Alet, N Laflorencie - Comptes Rendus Physique, 2018 - Elsevier

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 …

Observation of slow dynamics near the many-body localization transition in one-dimensional quasiperiodic systems

HP Lüschen, P Bordia, S Scherg, F Alet, E Altman… - Physical review …, 2017 - APS
In the presence of sufficiently strong disorder or quasiperiodic fields, an interacting many-
body system can fail to thermalize and become many-body localized. The associated …

Colloquium: Many-body localization, thermalization, and entanglement

DA Abanin, E Altman, I Bloch, M Serbyn - Reviews of Modern Physics, 2019 - APS
Thermalizing quantum systems are conventionally described by statistical mechanics at

The ergodic side of the many‐body localization transition

DJ Luitz, YB Lev - Annalen der Physik, 2017 - Wiley Online Library
Recent studies point towards nontriviality of the ergodic phase in systems exhibiting many‐

P Bordia, H Lüschen, S Scherg, S Gopalakrishnan… - Physical Review X, 2017 - APS
In a many-body localized (MBL) quantum system, the ergodic hypothesis breaks down,
giving rise to a fundamentally new many-body phase. Whether and under which conditions …

S Gopalakrishnan, SA Parameswaran - Physics Reports, 2020 - Elsevier
Many-body localization (MBL) describes a class of systems that do not approach thermal
equilibrium under their intrinsic dynamics; MBL and conventional thermalizing systems form …
