Many-body localization and delocalization dynamics in the thermodynamic limit

Jonas Richter, Arijeet Pal

Disordered quantum systems undergoing a many-body localization (MBL) transition fail to reach thermal equilibrium under their own dynamics. Distinguishing between asymptotically localized or delocalized dynamics based on numerical results is, however, nontrivial due to finite-size effects. Numerical linked cluster expansions (NLCE) provide a means to tackle quantum systems directly in the thermodynamic limit but are challenging for models without translational invariance. Here we demonstrate that NLCE provides a powerful tool to explore MBL by simulating quench dynamics in disordered spin-$1/2$ two-leg ladders and Fermi-Hubbard chains. Combining NLCE with an efficient real-time evolution of pure states, we obtain converged results for the decay of the imbalance on long time scales and show that, especially for intermediate disorder below the putative MBL transition, NLCE outperforms direct simulations of finite systems with open or periodic boundaries. Furthermore, while spin is delocalized even in strongly disordered Hubbard chains with frozen charge, we unveil that an additional tilted potential leads to a drastic slowdown of the spin imbalance and nonergodic behavior on accessible times. Our work sheds light on MBL in systems beyond the well-studied disordered Heisenberg chain and emphasizes the usefulness of NLCE for this purpose.

Thermodynamics of the disordered Hubbard model studied via numerical linked-cluster expansions

Jacob Park, Ehsan Khatami

The interplay of disorder and strong correlations in quantum many-body systems remains an open question. That is despite much progress made in recent years with ultracold atoms in optical lattices to better understand phenomena such as many-body localization or the effect of disorder on Mott metal-insulator transitions. Here, we utilize the numerical linked-cluster expansion technique, extended to treat disordered quantum lattice models, and study exact thermodynamic properties of the disordered Fermi-Hubbard model on the square and cubic geometries. We consider box distributions for the disorder in the onsite energy, the interaction strength, as well as the hopping amplitude and explore how energy, double occupancy, entropy, heat capacity, and magnetic correlations of the system in the thermodynamic limit evolve as the strength of disorder changes. We compare our findings with those obtained from determinant quantum Monte Carlo simulations and discuss the relevance of our results to experiments with cold fermionic atoms in optical lattices.
