We study the real-time dynamics of a translationally invariant quantum spin chain, based on the East kinetically constrained glass model, in search for evidence of many-body localisation in the absence of disorder. Numerical simulations…
We demonstrate that, in a many-particle system, particles can be strongly confined to their sites. The localization is obtained by constructing a sequence of on-site energies that efficiently suppresses resonant hopping. The time during…
We study the scattering modes of light in a three-dimensional disordered medium, in the scalar approximation and above the critical density for Anderson localization. Localized modes represent a minority of the total number of modes, even…
We address edge states and rich localization regimes available in the one-dimensional (1D) dynamically modulated superlattices, both theoretically and numerically. In contrast to conventional lattices with straight waveguides, the…
We examine the spectrum of small perturbations around global and local (gauge) abelian vortices, using simple numerical matrix techniques. The results are of interest for both cosmic strings and for their condensed matter analogues,…
Heterogeneities in environmental conditions often induce corresponding heterogeneities in the distribution of species. In the extreme case of a localized patch of increased growth rates, reproducing populations can become strongly…
In this work we propose a new algorithm for the computation of statistical equilibrium quantities on a cubic lattice when both an energy and a statistical temperature are involved. We demonstrate that the pivot algorithm used in situations…
We consider a one-dimensional, time-reversal-invariant system with attractive interactions and spin-orbit coupling. Such a system is gapless due to the strong quantum fluctuations of the superconducting order parameter. However, we show…
Complex and correlated quantum systems with promise for new functionality often involve entwined electronic degrees of freedom. In such materials, highly unusual properties emerge and could be the result of electron localization. Here, a…
Kitaev's quantum double models in 2D provide some of the most commonly studied examples of topological quantum order. In particular, the ground space is thought to yield a quantum error-correcting code. We offer an explicit proof that this…
We present a theory of Anderson localization on a one-dimensional lattice with translation-invariant hopping. We find by analytical calculation, the localization length for arbitrary finite-range hopping in the single propagating channel…
We study low-energy properties of spin-$S$ Kitaev models in an anisotropic limit. The effective form of a local conserved quantity is derived in the low-energy subspace. We find this is the same as that of $S=1/2$ case for the half-integer…
We investigate the possibility of Many-Body Localization in translation invariant Hamiltonian systems, which was recently brought up by several authors. A key feature of Many-Body Localized disordered systems is recovered, namely the fact…
Chaotic eigenstates of quantum systems are known to localize on either side of a classical partial transport barrier if the flux connecting the two sides is quantum mechanically not resolved due to Heisenberg's uncertainty. Surprisingly, in…
We have numerically investigated localization properties in the one-dimensional tight-binding model with chaotic binary on-site energy sequences generated by a modified Bernoulli map with the stationary-nonstationary chaotic transition…
Topological edge states arise at the interface of two topologically-distinct structures and have two distinct features: they are localized and robust against symmetry protecting disorder. On the other hand, conventional transport in one…
We study the spatial structure of wave functions with exceptionally high local amplitudes in the Anderson model of localisation. By means of exact diagonalisations of finite systems, we obtain and analyse images of these wave functions: we…
It has been recently shown that the presence of topological frustration, induced by periodic boundary conditions in an antiferromagnetic $XY$ chain made of an odd number of spins, prevents the realization of a perfectly staggered local…
We study topological aspects of a compact lattice superconductor, and show that the characteristic energy splitting, $\Delta$, between almost degenerate ground states, is simply related to a novel order parameter $\tilde W$, which is…
In this paper we discuss how partial knowledge of the density of states for a model can be used to give good approximations of the energy distributions in a given temperature range. From these distributions one can then obtain the…
