As strength of disorder enhances beyond a threshold value in many-body systems, a fundamental transformation happens through which the entire spectrum localizes, a phenomenon known as many-body localization. This has profound implications…

The out-of-time-ordered (OTO) correlation is a key quantity for quantifying quantum chaoticity and has been recently used in the investigation of quantum holography. Here we use it to study and characterize many-body localization (MBL). We…

We analyze a disordered central spin model, where a central spin interacts equally with each spin in a periodic one dimensional random-field Heisenberg chain. If the Heisenberg chain is initially in the many-body localized (MBL) phase, we…
