In the presence of sufficiently strong disorder or quasiperiodic fields, an interacting many-body system can fail to thermalize and become many-body localized. The associated transition is of particular interest, since it occurs not only in…

Nonlinear molecular excitations in DNA have traditionally been modelled using the nonlinear Schr\"odinger equation (NLSE). An alternative approach is based on the plane-base rotator model and the SU(2)/U(1) generalized spin coherent states,…
