Floquet-induced localization in long-range many-body systems

arXiv:2201.03716 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevResearch.5.013094

Abstract

The fate of many-body localization in long-range interacting systems is not fully settled. For instance, the phase boundary between ergodic and many-body localized regimes is still under debate. Here, we use Floquet dynamics which can induce many-body localization in a clean long-range interacting system through spatiotemporal disorder, which are realized by regular operation of random local rotations. The phase diagram has been determined for two types of uniform and nonuniform long-range couplings. Our Floquet mechanism shows more localizing power than conventional static disorder methods as it pushes the phase boundary in favor of the localized phase. Moreover, our comprehensive long-time simulations provide strong support for obtained results based on static analysis.
