Probing Slow Relaxation and Many-Body Localization in Two-Dimensional Quasiperiodic Systems

In a many-body localized (MBL) quantum system, the ergodic hypothesis breaks down, giving rise to a fundamentally new many-body phase. Whether and under which conditions MBL can occur in higher dimensions remains an outstanding challenge both for experiments and theory. Here, we experimentally explo...
