Characterizing the many-body localization transition through the entanglement spectrum
arXiv:1705.00631 · doi:10.1088/1367-2630/aa93a5
Abstract
We numerically explore the many body localization (MBL) transition through the lens of the {\it entanglement spectrum}. While a direct transition from localization to thermalization is believed to obtain in the thermodynamic limit (the exact details of which remain an open problem), in finite system sizes there exists an intermediate `quantum critical' regime. Previous numerical investigations have explored the crossover from thermalization to criticality, and have used this to place a numerical {\it lower} bound on the critical disorder strength for MBL. A careful analysis of the {\it high energy} part of the entanglement spectrum (which contains universal information about the critical point) allows us to make the first ever observation in exact numerics of the crossover from criticality to MBL and hence to place a numerical {\it upper bound} on the critical disorder strength for MBL.
