Many-body localization in a quasiperiodic system
@article{Iyer2013ManybodyLI, title={Many-body localization in a quasiperiodic system}, author={Shankar Iyer and Vadim Oganesyan and Gil Refael and David A. Huse}, journal={Physical Review B}, year={2013}, volume={87}, pages={134202} }
Recent theoretical and numerical evidence suggests that localization can survive in disordered many-body systems with very high energy density, provided that interactions are sufficiently weak. Stronger interactions can destroy localization, leading to a so-called many-body localization transition. This dynamical phase transition is relevant to questions of thermalization in extended quantum systems far from the zero-temperature limit. It separates a many-body localized phase, in which…

This work experimentally and numerically investigates the regime close to the many-body localization transition in quasiperiodic systems and finds slow relaxation of the density imbalanceclose to the transition, strikingly similar to the behavior near the transition in true-random systems.

It is demonstrated that nonrandom mechanisms that lead to single-particle localization may also lead to many-body localization, even in the absence of disorder, and a class of generic nonrandom models that fail to thermalize are constituted, which suggest new directions for experimentally exploring and understanding the phenomena of many- body localization.

It is established that the model possesses an infinite temperature many-body localization transition despite the existence of a single-particle mobility edge and proposes a practical scheme to test the predictions in atomic optical lattice experiments which can directly probe the effects of the mobility edge.
