Many-body localization has become an important phenomenon for illuminating a potential rift between non-equilibrium quantum systems and statistical mechanics. However, the nature of the transition between ergodic and localized phases in…
We generalize Page's result on the entanglement entropy of random pure states to the many-body eigenstates of realistic disordered many-body systems subject to long range interactions. This extension leads to two principal conclusions:…
We explore dynamics of disordered and quasi-periodic interacting lattice models using a self-consistent time-dependent Hartree-Fock (TDHF) approximation, accessing both large systems (up to $L = 400$ sites) and very long times (up to $t =…
Becke and Edgecombe suggested in 1990 a theoretical tool to describe electron localization in atoms and molecules, an idea which was borrowed by a large number of nuclear theorists since 2011 to describe nucleon localization in nuclear…
