The spin conductivity in the integrable spin-1/2 XXZ-chain is known to be infinite at finite temperatures T for anisotropies -1 < Delta < 1. Perturbations which break integrability, e.g. a next-nearest neighbor coupling J', render the…

We consider the spin-1/2 XY chain in a transverse field with regularly varying exchange interactions and on-site fields. In two limiting cases of the isotropic XX and extremely anisotropic (Ising) exchange interaction the thermodynamic…
We provide a simple proof of the Lieb-Robinson bound and use it to prove the existence of the dynamics for interactions with polynomial decay. We then use our results to demonstrate that there is an upper bound on the rate at which…

We propose a method for detecting many-body localization (MBL) in disordered spin systems. The method involves pulsed, coherent spin manipulations that probe the dephasing of a given spin due to its entanglement with a set of distant spins.…
In the context of the Many-Body-Localization phenomenology we consider arbitrarily large one-dimensional local spin systems, the XXZ model with random magnetic field is a prototypical example. Without assuming the existence of exponentially…

Transport of spherical Brownian particles of finite size possessing radii through narrow channels with varying cross-section area is considered. Applying the so-called Fick-Jacobs approximation, i.e. assuming fast equilibration in…

Many-body localisation is believed to be generically unstable in quantum systems with continuous non-Abelian symmetries, even in the presence of strong disorder. Breaking these symmetries can stabilise the localised phase, leading to the…
