We investigate the issue of eigenfunction localization in random fractal lattices embedded in two dimensional Euclidean space. In the system of our interest, there is no diagonal disorder -- the disorder arises from random connectivity of…
Can localization persist when interaction grows infinitely stronger than randomness? If so, is it many-body Anderson localization? How about the associated localization transition in the infinite-interaction limit? To tackle these…

We review recent results on many-body localization for two explicitly analyzable models of many-body quantum systems, the XY spin chain in transversal magnetic field as well as interacting systems of harmonic quantum oscillators. In both…
Some interacting disordered many-body systems are unable to thermalize when the quenched disorder becomes larger than a threshold value. Although several properties of nonzero energy density eigenstates (in the middle of the many-body…
Many-body wavefunctions usually lie in high-dimensional Hilbert spaces. However, physically relevant states, i.e, the eigenstates of the Schr\"odinger equation are rare. For many-body systems involving only pairwise interactions, these…
Avalanches are believed to be the mechanism behind the transition from many-body localization to the thermal phase. We utilize spin chains with constraints to study the physics of quantum avalanches by exact diagonalization of disordered…

The impact of local reflection symmetry on wave localization and transport within finite disordered chains is investigated. Local symmetries thereby play the role of a spatial correlation of variable range in the finite system. We find…
Within one-dimensional disordered models of interacting fermions we perform a numerical study of several dynamical density correlations, which can serve as hallmarks of the transition to the many-body localized state. Results confirm that…
We consider some aspects of a standard model employed in studies of many-body localization: interacting spinless fermions with quenched disorder, for non-zero filling fraction, here on $d$-dimensional lattices. The model may be recast as an…
We analyze a one-dimensional XXZ spin chain in a disordered magnetic field. As the main probes of the system's behavior we use the sensitivity of eigenstates to adiabatic transformations, as expressed through the fidelity susceptibility, in…
The dynamics of the highly excited states of a system projected into a single Landau level are analyzed. An analysis of level spacing ratios for finite size systems shows a clear crossover from extend (GUE) to localized (Poisson)…
An interacting quantum system can transition from an ergodic to a many-body localized (MBL) phase under the presence of sufficiently large disorder. Both phases are radically different in their dynamical properties, which are characterized…
