Hilbert space shattering and disorder-free localization in polar lattice gases

arXiv:2103.13780 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevLett.127.260601

Abstract

Emerging dynamical constraints resulting from inter-site interactions severely limit particle mobility in polar lattice gases. Whereas in absence of disorder hard-core Hubbard models with only strong nearest-neighbor interactions present Hilbert space fragmentation but no many-body localization for typical states, the tail of the dipolar interaction results in Hilbert space shattering, as well as in a dramatically slowed down dynamics and eventual disorder-free localization. Our results show that the study of the intriguing interplay between disorder- and interaction-induced many-body localization is within reach of future experiments with magnetic atoms and polar molecules.
