It is widely believed that many-body localisation in one dimension is fragile and can be easily destroyed by thermal inclusions, however there are still many open questions regarding the stability of the localised phase and under what…
We study a 1D system with a power-law quasiparticle dispersion $\propto |k|^\alpha\sign k$ in the presence of a short-range-correlated random potential and demonstrate that for $\alpha<1/2$ it exhibits a disorder-driven quantum phase…
Quantum phase transitions arise in many-body systems due to competing interactions that promote rivaling ground states. Recent years have seen the identification of continuous quantum phase transitions, or quantum critical points, in a host…
We develop an efficient numerical method to study the quantum critical behavior of disordered systems with $\mathcal{O}(N)$ order-parameter symmetry in the large$-N$ limit. It is based on the iterative solution of the large$-N$ saddle-point…
Quantum phase transitions occur at zero temperature when some non-thermal control-parameter like pressure or chemical composition is changed. They are driven by quantum rather than thermal fluctuations. In this review we first give a…
