We introduce a multi-scale diagonalization scheme to study the transition between the many-body localized and the ergodic phase in disordered quantum chains. The scheme assumes a sharp dichotomy between subsystems that behave as localized…

Although random matrix theory provides a fundamental framework for characterizing quantum chaos, encompassing both ergodic and localized phases, a comprehensive understanding of the universal features governing the critical transition…

Using a new approximate strong-randomness renormalization group (RG), we study the many-body localized (MBL) phase and phase transition in one-dimensional quantum systems with short-range interactions and quenched disorder. Our RG is built…

The transition between ergodic and many-body localized phases is expected to occur via an avalanche mechanism, in which \emph{ergodic bubbles} that arise due to local fluctuations in system properties thermalize their surroundings leading…

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…

We investigate the occurrence of many-body localization (MBL) on a spin-1/2 transverse-field Ising model defined on a Chimera connectivity graph with random exchange interactions and longitudinal fields. We observe a transition from an…

We examine the standard model of many-body localization (MBL), i.e., the disordered chain of interacting spinless fermions, by representing it as the network in the many-body (MB) basis of noninteracting localized Anderson states. By…

We study a model of interacting fermions in one dimension subject to random, uncorrelated onsite disorder. The model realizes an interaction-driven quantum phase transition between an ergodic and a many-body localized phase (MBL). We…

We introduce techniques for analysing the structure of quantum states of many-body localized (MBL) spin chains by identifying correlation clusters from pairwise correlations. These techniques proceed by interpreting pairwise correlations in…

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 experimentally observe many-body localization of interacting fermions in a one-dimensional quasi-random optical lattice. We identify the many-body localization transition through the relaxation dynamics of an initially-prepared charge…

The Anderson transition in random graphs has raised great interest, partly because of its analogy with the many-body localization (MBL) transition. Unlike the latter, many results for random graphs are now well established, in particular…

Many-body localization (MBL) behavior is analyzed {in an extended Bose-Hubbard model with quasiperiodic infinite-range interactions. No additional disorder is present. Examining level statistics and entanglement entropy of eigenstates we…

We study the ergodic properties of excited states in a model of interacting fermions in quasi-one-dimensional chains subjected to a random vector potential. In the noninteracting limit, we show that arbitrarily small values of this complex…

In this paper we propose a new perspective to analyze the many-body localization (MBL) transition when recast in terms of a single-particle tight-binding model in the space of many-body configurations. We compute the distribution of…

Determining the border between ergodic and localized behavior is of central interest for interacting many-body systems. We consider here the recently very popular spin-chain model that is periodically excited. A convenient description of…

The Anderson localization transition in quantum graphs has garnered significant recent attention due to its relevance to many-body localization studies. Typically, graphs are constructed using top-down methods. Here, we explore a bottom-up…

Using exact numerical diagonalization, we investigate localization in two classes of random matrices corresponding to random graphs. The first class comprises the adjacency matrices of Erdos-Renyi (ER) random graphs. The second one…

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…

While many studies point towards the existence of many-body localization (MBL) in one dimension, the fate of higher-dimensional strongly disordered systems is a topic of current debate. The latest experiments as well as several recent…
