Recent experiments and theories have suggested that strong spin–orbit coupling effects in
certain band insulators can give rise to a new phase of quantum matter, the so-called …

We use exact diagonalization to explore the many-body localization transition in a random-
field spin-1/2 chain. We examine the correlations within each many-body eigenstate, looking …

A topologically ordered material is characterized by a rare quantum organization of
electrons that evades the conventional spontaneously broken symmetry–based …

Closed quantum systems with quenched randomness exhibit many-body localized regimes
wherein they do not equilibrate, even though prepared with macroscopic amounts of energy …

The resilience of quantum entanglement to a classicality-inducing environment is tied to
fundamental aspects of quantum many-body systems. The dynamics of entanglement has …

We present a numerical study of the diffusion of energy at high temperature in strongly
disordered chains of interacting classical spins evolving deterministically. We find that …

Lessons from Anderson localization highlight the importance of the dimensionality of real
space for localization due to disorder. More recently, studies of many-body localization have …

Entanglement transitions in quantum dynamics present a novel class of phase transitions in
nonequilibrium systems. When a many-body quantum system undergoes unitary evolution …

Nonequilibrium properties of quantum materials present many intriguing properties, among
them athermal behavior, which violates the eigenstate thermalization hypothesis. Such …

We propose a tensor network encoding the set of all eigenstates of a fully many-body
localized system in one dimension. Our construction, conceptually based on the ansatz …
