Localization and slow thermalization in quantum many-body systems

Wen Wei Ho

There has been a surge of interest in studying truly nonequilibrium quantum many-body phenomena, motivated both by theoretical advances such as in the understanding of many-body-localization (MBL), and by experimental advances in controlling synthetic quantum systems that serve as rich playgrounds to probe these phenomena. In this thesis, we show that looking at the physical structure of quantum systems, such as the locality of Hamiltonians and the entanglement of quantum states -- concepts with a quantum informational flavor to them -- is a useful lens with which to explore nonequilibrium many-body physics. We use these ideas to study localization -- the breakdown of ergodicity in certain classes of many-body systems, and also the timescales of thermalization in periodically driven many-body systems. We also explain the recent observations in a dipolar system of the discrete time crystal phase, an exemplary nonequilibrium phase of matter, and further consider the dynamics of entanglement in many-body systems.

Dynamical many‐body localization and delocalization in periodically driven closed quantum systems

Asmi Haldar, Arnab Das

Quantum interference lies at the heart of several surprising equilibrium and non‐equilibrium phenomena in many‐body Physics. Here we discuss two recently explored non‐equilibrium scenarios where external periodic drive applied to closed (i.e., not attached to any external bath) quantum many‐body systems have apparently opposite effects in respective cases. In one case it freezes/localizes a disorder free system dynamically, while in the other it delocalizes a disordered many‐body localized system, and quantum interference is responsible for both the effects. We review these in the perspective of more general questions of ergodicity, energy absorption, asymptotic behavior, and finally the essential role of quantum mechanics in understanding these issues in periodically driven closed many‐body systems. In this article we intend to deliver a non‐technical account of some recent developments in this field in a manner accessible to a broad readership. image
