Many-body localization is a unique physical phenomenon driven by interactions and disorder for which a quantum system can evade thermalization. While the existence of a many-body localized phase is now well-established in one-dimensional…

We consider spinless fermions on a finite one-dimensional lattice, interacting via nearest-neighbor repulsion and subject to a strong electric field. In the non-interacting case, due to Wannier-Stark localization, the single-particle wave…
We suggest that if a localized phase at nonzero temperature $T>0$ exists for strongly disordered and weakly interacting electrons, as recently argued, it will also occur when both disorder and interactions are strong and $T$ is very high.…

We study the spectral statistics of interacting spinless fermions in a two-dimensional disordered lattice. Within a full quantum treatment for small few-particle-systems, we compute the low-energy many-body states numerically. While at weak…
The fate of many-body localization in long-range interacting systems is not fully settled. For instance, the phase boundary between ergodic and many-body localized regimes is still under debate. Here, we use Floquet dynamics which can…
Systems of strongly interacting dipoles offer an attractive platform to study many-body localized phases, owing to their long coherence times and strong interactions. We explore conditions under which such localized phases persist in the…
We study quench dynamics in a t-V chain of spinless fermions (equivalent to the spin-1/2 Heisenberg chain) with strong potential disorder. For this prototypical model of many-body localization we have recently argued that -- contrary to the…
Many-body localization is characterized by a slow logarithmic growth of the entanglement entropy after a global quantum quench while the local memory of an initial density imbalance remains at infinite time. We investigate how much the…
We present a fully analytical description of a many body localization (MBL) transition in a microscopically defined model. Its Hamiltonian is the sum of one- and two-body operators, where both contributions obey a maximum-entropy principle…
Many-body localized phases retain memory of their initial conditions in disordered interacting systems with unitary dynamics. The stability of the localized phase due to the breakdown of unitarity is of relevance to experiment in the…
The modeling of out-of-equilibrium many-body systems requires to go beyond the low-energy physics and local densities of states. Many-body localization, presence or lack of thermalization and quantum chaos are examples of phenomena in which…
We investigate quench dynamics across many-body localization (MBL) transition in an interacting one dimensional system of spinless fermions with aperiodic potential. We consider a large number of initial states characterized by the number…
We analyze many body localization (MBL) in an interacting one-dimensional system with a deterministic aperiodic potential. Below the threshold value of the potential $h < h_c$, the non-interacting system has single particle mobility edges…
