Whether the many-body mobility edges can exist in a one-dimensional interacting quantum system is a controversial problem, mainly hampered by the limited system sizes amenable to numerical simulations. We investigate the transition from chaos to localization by constructing a combined random matrix, which has two extremes, one of Gaussian orthogonal ensemble and the other of Poisson statistics, drawn from different distributions. We find that by fixing a scaling parameter, the mobility edges can exist while increasing the matrix dimension $Drightarrowinfty$, depending on the distribution of matrix elements of the diagonal uncorrelated matrix. By applying those results to a specific one-dimensional isolated quantum system of random diagonal elements, we confirm the existence of a many-body mobility edge, connecting it with results on the onset of level repulsion extracted from ensembles of mixed random matrices.

We uncover a new non-ergodic phase, distinct from the many-body localized (MBL) phase, in a disordered two-leg ladder of interacting hardcore bosons. The dynamics of this emergent phase, which has no single-particle analog and exists only for strong disorder and finite interaction, is determined by the many-body configuration of the initial state. Remarkably, this phase features the $textit{coexistence}$ of localized and extended many-body states at fixed energy density and thus does not exhibit a many-body mobility edge, nor does it reduce to a model with a single-particle mobility edge in the noninteracting limit. We show that eigenstates in this phase can be described in terms of interacting emergent Ising spin degrees of freedom (singlons) suspended in a mixture with inert charge degrees of freedom (doublons and holons), and thus dub it a $textit{mobility emulsion}$ (ME). We argue that grouping eigenstates by their doublon/holon density reveals a transition between localized and extended states that is invisible as a function of energy density. We further demonstrate that the dynamics of the system following a quench may exhibit either thermalizing or localized behavior depending on the doublon/holon density of the initial product state. Intriguingly, the ergodicity of the ME is thus tuned by the initial state of the many-body system. These results establish a new paradigm for using many-body configurations as a tool to study and control the MBL transition. The ME phase may be observable in suitably prepared cold atom optical lattices.
Many interesting experimental systems, such as cavity QED or central spin models, involve global coupling to a single harmonic mode. Out-of-equilibrium, it remains unclear under what conditions localized phases survive such global coupling. We study energy-dependent localization in the disordered Ising model with transverse and longitudinal fields coupled globally to a $d$-level system (qudit). Strikingly, we discover an inverted mobility edge, where high energy states are localized while low energy states are delocalized. Our results are supported by shift-and-invert eigenstate targeting and Krylov time evolution up to $L=13$ and $18$ respectively. We argue for a critical energy of the localization phase transition which scales as $E_c propto L^{1/2}$, consistent with finite size numerics. We also show evidence for a reentrant MBL phase at even lower energies despite the presence of strong effects of the central mode in this regime. Similar results should occur in the central spin-$S$ problem at large $S$ and in certain models of cavity QED.

We analyze many body localization (MBL) in an interacting one-dimensional system with a deterministic aperiodic potential. Below the threshold value of the potential $h < h_c$, the non-interacting system has single particle mobility edges at $pm E_c$ while for $ h > h_c$ all the single particle states are localized. We demonstrate that even in the presence of single particle mobility edges, the interacting system can have MBL. Our numerical calculation of participation ratio in the Fock space and Shannon entropy shows that both for $h < h_c$ (quarter filled) and $h>h_c$ ($hsim h_c$ and half filled), many body states in the middle of the spectrum are delocalized while the low energy states with $E < E_1$ and the high energy states with $E> E_2$ are localized. Variance of entanglement entropy (EE) also shows divergence at $E_{1,2}$ indicating a transition from MBL to delocalized regime. We also studied eigenstate thermalisation hypothesis (ETH) and found that the low energy many body states, which show area law scaling for EE do not obey ETH. The crossings from volume to area law scaling for EE and from thermal to non-thermal behaviour occurs deep inside the localised regime. For $h gg h_c$, all the many body states remain localized for weak to intermediate strength of interaction and the system shows infinite temperature MBL phase.
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.
Sufficient disorder is believed to localize static and periodically-driven interacting chains. With quasiperiodic driving by $D$ incommensurate tones, the fate of this many-body localization (MBL) is unknown. We argue that randomly disordered MBL exi sts for $D=2$, but not for $D geq 3$. Specifically, a putative two-tone driven MBL chain is neither destabilized by thermal avalanches seeded by rare thermal regions, nor by the proliferation of long-range many-body resonances. For $D geq 3$, however, sufficiently large thermal regions have continuous local spectra and slowly thermalize the entire chain. En route, we generalize the eigenstate thermalization hypothesis to the quasiperiodically-driven setting, and verify its predictions numerically. Two-tone driving enables new topological orders with edge signatures; our results suggest that localization protects these orders indefinitely.
