Density matrix renormalization group study of the interacting Kitaev chain with quasi-periodic disorder

K. S. C. Decker, C. Karrasch

We document the ground state phase diagram of the one-dimensional Kitaev chain with quasi-periodic disorder in the presence of two-body interactions. Our data was obtained for syst…

Reviving product states in the disordered Heisenberg chain

Henrik Wilming, Tobias J. Osborne, Kevin S. C. Decker +1

When a generic quantum system is prepared in a simple initial condition, it typically equilibrates toward a state that can be described by a thermal ensemble. A known exception are…

Many-body localization and the area law in two dimensions

Kevin S. C. Decker, Dante M. Kennes, Christoph Karrasch

We study the high-energy phase diagram of a two-dimensional spin- Heisenberg model on a square lattice in the presence of either quenched or quasiperiodic disorder. Th…

Floquet engineering topological many-body localized systems

Kevin S. C. Decker, Christoph Karrasch, Jens Eisert +1

We show how second-order Floquet engineering can be employed to realize systems in which many-body localization coexists with topological properties in a driven system. This allows…

Entanglement and spectra in topological many-body localized phases

K. S. C. Decker, D. M. Kennes, J. Eisert +1

Many-body localized systems in which interactions and disorder come together defy the expectations of quantum statistical mechanics: In contrast to ergodic systems, they do not the…

Weyl node with random vector potential

Björn Sbierski, Kevin S. C. Decker, Piet W. Brouwer

We study Weyl semimetals in the presence of generic disorder, consisting of a random vector potential as well as a random scalar potential. We derive renormalization group flow equ…
