Disorder in quantum systems can lead to the disruption of long-range order in the ground state and to the localization of the elementary excitations - famous examples thereof being the Bose glass of interacting bosons in a disordered or quasi-periodic environment, or the localized phase of spin chains mapping onto fermions. Here we present a two-dimensional quantum Ising model - relevant to the physics of Rydberg-atom arrays - in which positional disorder of the spins induces a randomization of the spin-spin couplings and of an on-site longitudinal field. This form of disorder preserves long-range order in the ground state, while it localizes the elementary excitations above it, faithfully described as spin waves: the spin-wave spectrum is partially localized for weak disorder (seemingly exhibiting mobility edges between localized and extended, yet non-ergodic states), while it is fully localized for strong disorder. The regime of partially localized excitations exhibits a very rich non-equilibrium dynamics following a low-energy quench: correlations and entanglement spread with a power-law behavior whose exponent is a continuous function of disorder, interpolating between ballistic and arrested transport. Our findings expose a stark dichotomy between static and dynamical properties of disordered quantum spin systems, which is readily accessible to experimental verification using quantum simulators of closed quantum many-body systems.

We investigate the transition induced by disorder in a periodically-driven one-dimensional model displaying quantized topological transport. We show that, while instantaneous eigenstates are necessarily Anderson localized, the periodic driving plays
a fundamental role in delocalizing Floquet states over the whole system, henceforth allowing for a steady state nearly-quantized current. Remarkably, this is linked to a localization/delocalization transition in the Floquet states of a one dimensional driven Anderson insulator, which occurs for periodic driving corresponding to a nontrivial loop in the parameter space. As a consequence, the Floquet spectrum becomes continuous in the delocalized phase, in contrast with a pure-point instantaneous spectrum.
The transport of excitations between pinned particles in many physical systems may be mapped to single-particle models with power-law hopping, $1/r^a$. For randomly spaced particles, these models present an effective peculiar disorder that leads to s
urprising localization properties. We show that in one-dimensional systems almost all eigenstates (except for a few states close to the ground state) are power-law localized for any value of $a>0$. Moreover, we show that our model is an example of a new universality class of models with power-law hopping, characterized by a duality between systems with long-range hops ($a<1$) and short-range hops ($a>1$) in which the wave function amplitude falls off algebraically with the same power $gamma$ from the localization center.
Using a numerically exact technique we study spin transport and the evolution of spin-density excitation profiles in a disordered spin-chain with long-range interactions, decaying as a power-law, $r^{-alpha}$ with distance and $alpha<2$. Our study co
nfirms the prediction of recent theories that the system is delocalized in this parameters regime. Moreover we find that for $alpha>3/2$ the underlying transport is diffusive with a transient super-diffusive tail, similarly to the situation in clean long-range systems. We generalize the Griffiths picture to long-range systems and show that it captures the essential properties of the exact dynamics.
We analyze the localization properties of the disordered Hubbard model in the presence of a synthetic magnetic field. An analysis of level spacing ratio shows a clear transition from ergodic to many-body localized phase. The transition shifts to larg
er disorder strengths with increasing magnetic flux. Study of dynamics of local correlations and entanglement entropy indicates that charge excitations remain localized whereas spin degree of freedom gets delocalized in the presence of the synthetic flux. This residual ergodicity is enhanced by the presence of the magnetic field with dynamical observables suggesting incomplete localization at large disorder strengths. Furthermore, we examine the effect of quantum statistics on the local correlations and show that the long-time spin oscillations of a hard-core boson system are destroyed as opposed to the fermionic case.
Thermalization of random-field Heisenberg spin chain is probed by time evolution of density correlation functions. Studying the impacts of average energies of initial product states on dynamics of the system, we provide arguments in favor of the exis
tence of a mobility edge in the large system-size limit.
