Many-body localization (MBL) features are studied here for a large spin chain model with long range interactions. The model corresponds to cold atoms placed inside a cavity and driven by an external laser field with long range interactions…

We investigate spin correlations in one-dimensional $SU(2)$-invariant Heisenberg chains with exchange disorder for spin lengths $S=1/2$ and $S=1$. In the weak-disorder regime, the eigenmodes of the spin-spin correlation matrix are…
Due to the presence of phonons, many body localization (MBL) does not occur in disordered solids, even if disorder is strong. Local conservation laws characterizing an underlying MBL phase decay due to the coupling to phonons. Here we show…
