We investigate many-body localization in the chain of interacting spins with a transverse power-law interaction, $J_{0}/r^{\alpha}$, and random on-site potentials, $\phi_i \in \left(-W/2,W/2\right)$, in the long-range limit, $\alpha< 3/2$,…
Many-body localization is characterized by a slow logarithmic growth of the entanglement entropy after a global quantum quench while the local memory of an initial density imbalance remains at infinite time. We investigate how much the…
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 in the form of quenched disorder in the parameters of the…
