Sub-Power Law Decay of the Wave Packet Maximum in Disordered Anharmonic Chains

Wojciech De Roeck, Lydia Giacomin, Amirali Hannani +1

We show that the peak of an initially localized wave packet in one-dimensional nonlinear disordered chains decays more slowly than any power law of time. The systems under investig…

Derivation of Euler equations from quantum and classical microscopic dynamics

Amirali Hannani, François Huveneers

We derive Euler equations from a Hamiltonian microscopic dynamics. The microscopic system is a one-dimensional disordered harmonic chain, and the dynamics is either quantum or clas…

Pre-thermalization in a classical phonon field: slow relaxation of the number of phonons

François Huveneers, Jani Lukkarinen

We investigate the emergence of an astonishingly long pre-thermal plateau in a classical phonon field, here a harmonic chain with on-site pinning. Integrability is broken by a weak…

Subdiffusion in one-dimensional Hamiltonian chains with sparse interactions

Wojciech De Roeck, Francois Huveneers, Stefano Olla

We establish rigorously that transport is slower than diffusive for a class of disordered one-dimensional Hamiltonian chains. This is done by deriving quantitative bounds on the va…

How a small quantum bath can thermalize long localized chains

David J. Luitz, François Huveneers, Wojciech de Roeck

We investigate the stability of the many-body localized (MBL) phase for a system in contact with a single ergodic grain, modelling a Griffiths region with low disorder. Our numeric…
