Many-body localization (MBL) is an emergent phase in correlated quantum systems with promis- ing applications, particularly in quantum information. Here, we unveil the existence and analyse this phase in a chiral multiferroic model system.…
Coupling a many-body localized system to a thermal bath breaks local conservation laws and washes out signatures of localization. When the bath is non-thermal or when the system is also weakly driven, local conserved quantities acquire a…
An interacting quantum system that is subject to disorder may cease to thermalize due to localization of its constituents, thereby marking the breakdown of thermodynamics. The key to our understanding of this phenomenon lies in the system's…
