Despite being continually kicked and strongly interacting, the atoms no longer absorb energy. The system localizes in momentum space, the momentum distribution literally freezes, a remarkable ...

Physicists have found an answer to the longstanding physics question: How do interparticle interactions affect dynamical localization? Physicists at UC Santa Barbara and the University of Maryland, ...

Quantum many-body localisation (MBL) describes a regime in which interacting quantum particles fail to achieve thermal equilibrium due to the combined effects of disorder and strong quantum ...

This is a preview. Log in through your library . Abstract In this work we demonstrate that nonrandom mechanisms that lead to single-particle localization may also lead to many-body localization, even ...

That is, until about 16 years ago when it was argued that disorder in a quantum system was thought to result in many-body localization (MBL). “This phenomenon, which was recognized by the Lars Onsager ...
