[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 …

Equilibration, thermalisation, and the emergence of statistical mechanics in closed quantum systems

C Gogolin, J Eisert - Reports on Progress in Physics, 2016‏ - iopscience.iop.org
We review selected advances in the theoretical understanding of complex quantum many-
body systems with regard to emergent notions of quantum statistical mechanics. We cover …

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 …

Distinguishing localization from chaos: Challenges in finite-size systems

DA Abanin, JH Bardarson, G De Tomasi… - Annals of Physics, 2021‏ - Elsevier
We re-examine attempts to study the many-body localization transition using measures that
are physically natural on the ergodic/quantum chaotic regime of the phase diagram. Using …

Observation of many-body localization of interacting fermions in a quasirandom optical lattice

M Schreiber, SS Hodgman, P Bordia, HP Lüschen… - Science, 2015‏ - science.org
Many-body localization (MBL), the disorder-induced localization of interacting particles,
signals a breakdown of conventional thermodynamics because MBL systems do not …

Recent progress in many‐body localization

DA Abanin, Z Papić - Annalen der Physik, 2017‏ - Wiley Online Library
This article is a brief introduction to the rapidly evolving field of many‐body localization.
Rather than giving an in‐depth review of the subject, our aspiration here is simply to …

Many-body localization in periodically driven systems

P Ponte, Z Papić, F Huveneers, DA Abanin - Physical review letters, 2015‏ - APS
We consider disordered many-body systems with periodic time-dependent Hamiltonians in
one spatial dimension. By studying the properties of the Floquet eigenstates, we identify two …

Unified theory of local quantum many-body dynamics: Eigenoperator thermalization theorems

B Buča - Physical Review X, 2023‏ - APS
Explaining quantum many-body dynamics is a long-held goal of physics. A rigorous operator
algebraic theory of dynamics in locally interacting systems in any dimension is provided …

Measurement-induced phase transition: A case study in the nonintegrable model by density-matrix renormalization group calculations

Q Tang, W Zhu - Physical Review Research, 2020‏ - APS
We study the effect of local projective measurements on the quantum quench dynamics. As
a concrete example, a one-dimensional Bose-Hubbard model is simulated by the matrix …

[HTML][HTML] Out-of-time-order correlation for many-body localization

R Fan, P Zhang, H Shen, H Zhai - Science bulletin, 2017‏ - Elsevier
In this paper we first compute the out-of-time-order correlators (OTOC) for both a
phenomenological model and a random-field XXZ model in the many-body localized phase …
