Signatures of Many-Body Localization in a Controlled Open Quantum System

Signatures of Many-Body Localization in a Controlled Open Quantum System

In the presence of disorder, an interacting closed quantum system can undergo many-body localization (MBL) and fail to thermalize. However, over long times, even weak couplings to any thermal environment will necessarily thermalize the system and erase all signatures of MBL. This presents a challeng...
