Statistical mechanics provides a framework for describing the physics of large, complex
many-body systems using only a few macroscopic parameters to determine the state of the …

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 …

The venerable phenomena of Anderson localization, along with the much more recent many-
body localization, both depend crucially on the presence of disorder. The latter enters either …

We propose a scaling theory for the many-body localization (MBL) phase transition in one
dimension, building on the idea that it proceeds via a “quantum avalanche.” We argue that …

Quantum simulation provides platforms to study fundamental aspects of many-body physics
in a controlled way, and to explore their implications for quantum technology. However, the …

Topologically ordered phases of matter elude Landau's symmetry-breaking theory, featuring
a variety of intriguing properties such as long-range entanglement and intrinsic robustness …

Quasicrystals are long-range ordered but not periodic, representing an interesting middle
ground between order and disorder. We experimentally and numerically study the …

Lessons from Anderson localization highlight the importance of the dimensionality of real
space for localization due to disorder. More recently, studies of many-body localization have …

We investigate the stability of an Anderson localized chain to the inclusion of a single finite
interacting thermal seed. This system models the effects of rare low-disorder regions on …

In this paper we propose a new perspective to analyze the many-body localization (MBL)
transition when recast in terms of a single-particle tight-binding model in the space of many …
