Quantum critical behavior at the many-body-localization transition
Matthew Rispoli, Alexander Lukin, Robert Schittko +4
Phase transitions are driven by collective fluctuations of a system's constituents that emerge at a critical point. This mechanism has been extensively explored for classical and q…

Quantum Virtual Cooling
Jordan Cotler, Soonwon Choi, Alexander Lukin +10
We propose a quantum information based scheme to reduce the temperature of quantum many-body systems, and access regimes beyond the current capability of conventional cooling techn…

Probing entanglement in a many-body-localized system
Alexander Lukin, Matthew Rispoli, Robert Schittko +6
An interacting quantum system that is subject to disorder may cease to thermalize due to localization of its constituents, thereby marking the breakdown of thermodynamics. The key…
