We use exact diagonalization to explore the many-body localization transition in a random-field spin-1/2 chain. We examine the correlations within each many-body eigenstate, looking at all states and thus effectively working at infinite…

Quantum coherence quantifies the amount of superposition a quantum state can have in a given basis. Since there is a difference in the structure of eigenstates of the ergodic and many-body localized systems, we expect them also to differ in…

Since the seminal work of Anderson, localisation has been recognised as a standard mechanism allowing quantum many-body systems to escape ergodicity. This idea acquired even more prominence in the last decade as it has been argued that…
