Many aspects of many-body localization (MBL), including dynamic classification of MBL phases, remain elusive. Here, by performing real-space renormalization group (RSRG) analysis we propose that there are two distinct types of MBL phases:…

Quantum many-body systems with sufficiently strong disorder can exhibit a non-equilibrium phenomenon, known as the many-body localization (MBL), which is distinct from conventional thermalization. While the MBL regime has been extensively…

Experiments in cold atom systems see almost identical signatures of many body localization (MBL) in both one-dimensional ($d=1$) and two-dimensional ($d=2$) systems despite the thermal avalanche hypothesis showing that the MBL phase is…

We study many-body localization (MBL) in the quasiperiodic $t_1$-$t_2$ model, focusing on the role of next-nearest-neighbor (NNN) hopping $t_2$, which introduces a single-particle mobility edge. The calculated phase diagram can be divided…

Many body localization (MBL) has emerged as a powerful paradigm for understanding non-equilibrium quantum dynamics. Folklore based on perturbative arguments holds that MBL only arises in systems with short range interactions. Here we…
