Many-Body-Localization Transition in the Strong Disorder Limit: Entanglement Entropy from the Statistics of Rare Extensive Resonances

Cécile Monthus

The space of one-dimensional disordered interacting quantum models displaying a many-body localization (MBL) transition seems sufficiently rich to produce critical points with level statistics interpolating continuously between the Poisson statistics of the localized phase and the Wigner–Dyson statistics of the delocalized phase. In this paper, we consider the strong disorder limit of the MBL transition, where the level statistics at the MBL critical point is close to the Poisson statistics. We analyze a one-dimensional quantum spin model, in order to determine the statistical properties of the rare extensive resonances that are needed to destabilize the MBL phase. At criticality, we find that the entanglement entropy can grow with an exponent 0 < α < 1 anywhere between the area law α = 0 and the volume law α = 1 , as a function of the resonances properties, while the entanglement spectrum follows the strong multifractality statistics. In the MBL phase near criticality, we obtain the simple value ν = 1 for the correlation length exponent. Independently of the strong disorder limit, we explain why, for the many-body localization transition concerning individual eigenstates, the correlation length exponent ν is not constrained by the usual Harris inequality ν ≥ 2 / d , so that there is no theoretical inconsistency with the best numerical measure ν = 0 . 8 ( 3 ) obtained by Luitz et al. (2015).

Statistically related many-body localization in the one-dimensional anyon Hubbard model

Guo-Qing Zhang, Dan-Wei Zhang, Zhi Li +2 more

Many-body localization (MBL) has been widely investigated for both fermions and bosons, it is, however, much less explored for anyons. Here we numerically calculate several physical characteristics related to MBL of a one-dimensional disordered anyon-Hubbard model in both localized and delocalized regions. We figure out a logarithmically slow growth of the half-chain entanglement entropy and an area-law rather than volume-law obedience for the highly excited eigenstates in the MBL phase. The adjacent energy level gap-ratio parameter is calculated and is found to exhibit a Poisson-like probability distribution in the deep MBL phase. By studying a hybridization parameter, we reveal an intriguing effect that the statistics can induce localization-delocalization transition. Several physical quantities, such as the half-chain entanglement, the adjacent energy level gap-ratio parameter, the long-time limit of the particle imbalance, and the critical disorder strength, are shown to be nonmonotonically dependent on the anyon statistical angle. Furthermore, a feasible scheme based on the spectroscopy of energy levels is proposed for the experimental observation of these statistically related properties.

Many-body localization due to random interactions

Piotr Sierant, Dominique Delande, Jakub Zakrzewski

The possibility of observing many-body localization of ultracold atoms in a one-dimensional optical lattice is discussed for random interactions. In the noninteracting limit, such a system reduces to single-particle physics in the absence of disorder, i.e., to extended states. In effect, the observed localization is inherently due to interactions and is thus a genuine many-body effect. In the system studied, many-body localization manifests itself in a lack of thermalization visible in temporal propagation of a specially prepared initial state, in transport properties, in the logarithmic growth of entanglement entropy, and in statistical properties of energy levels.
