[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 …

Quantum entanglement in condensed matter systems

N Laflorencie - Physics Reports, 2016 - Elsevier
This review focuses on the field of quantum entanglement applied to condensed matter
physics systems with strong correlations, a domain which has rapidly grown over the last …

Quantum scarred eigenstates in a Rydberg atom chain: Entanglement, breakdown of thermalization, and stability to perturbations

CJ Turner, AA Michailidis, DA Abanin, M Serbyn… - Physical Review B, 2018 - APS
Recent realization of a kinetically constrained chain of Rydberg atoms by Bernien,[Nature

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 …

Thouless time analysis of Anderson and many-body localization transitions

P Sierant, D Delande, J Zakrzewski - Physical Review Letters, 2020 - APS
Spectral statistics of disordered systems encode Thouless and Heisenberg timescales,
whose ratio determines whether the system is chaotic or localized. We show that the scaling …

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 …

Spectral statistics in spatially extended chaotic quantum many-body systems

A Chan, A De Luca, JT Chalker - Physical review letters, 2018 - APS
We study spectral statistics in spatially extended chaotic quantum many-body systems, using
simple lattice Floquet models without time-reversal symmetry. Computing the spectral form …

Local integrals of motion in many‐body localized systems

JZ Imbrie, V Ros, A Scardicchio - Annalen der Physik, 2017 - Wiley Online Library
We review the current (as of Fall 2016) status of the studies on the emergent integrability in
many‐body localized models. We start by explaining how the phenomenology of fully many …

Two universality classes for the many-body localization transition

V Khemani, DN Sheng, DA Huse - Physical review letters, 2017 - APS
We provide a systematic comparison of the many-body localization (MBL) transition in spin
chains with nonrandom quasiperiodic versus random fields. We find evidence suggesting …

Onset of random matrix behavior in scrambling systems

H Gharibyan, M Hanada, SH Shenker… - Journal of High Energy …, 2018 - Springer
A bstract The fine grained energy spectrum of quantum chaotic systems is widely believed to
be described by random matrix statistics. A basic scale in such a system is the energy range …
