As opposed to random disorder, which localizes single-particle wave-functions in 1D at arbitrarily small disorder strengths, there is a localization-delocalization transition for quasi-periodic disorder in the 1D Aubry-Andr\'e model at a…

We study the transitions between ergodic and many-body localized phases in spin systems, subject to quenched disorder, including the Heisenberg chain and the central spin model. In both cases systems with common spin lengths $1/2$ and $1$…

We show that weak measurements can induce a quantum phase transition of interacting many-body systems from an ergodic thermal phase with a large entropy to a nonergodic localized phase with a small entropy, but only if the measurement…

Models with correlated disorders are rather common in physics. In some of them, like the Aubry-Andr\'e (AA) model, the localization phase diagram can be found from the (self)duality with respect to the Fourier transform. In the others, like…

Anderson localization on random regular graphs (RRG) serves as a toy-model of many-body localization (MBL). We explore the transition for ergodicity to localization on RRG with large connectivity $m$. In the analytical part, we focus on the…

Recent work by De Roeck et al. [Phys. Rev. B 95, 155129 (2017)] has argued that many-body localization (MBL) is unstable in two and higher dimensions due to a thermalization avalanche triggered by rare regions of weak disorder. To examine…
