In this work we probe the dynamics of the particle-hole symmetric many-body localized (MBL) phase. We provide numerical evidence that it can be characterized by an algebraic propagation of both entanglement and charge, unlike in the…

Binary collisions in Fermi systems obey two fundamental symmetries corresponding to the space and time inversion and to the interchange of particles and holes. We show that beyond the local and instant approximation of scattering-in and…

Symmetry plays a central role in many areas of modern physics. Here we show that it also underpins the dual particle and wave nature of quantum systems. We begin by noting that a classical point particle breaks translational symmetry…
