When scientists repeatedly drove a strongly interacting quantum system with laser “kicks,” they expected it to heat up and ...

An experiment with ultracold atoms reveals that a strongly driven quantum system doesn’t always heat up as expected. In daily ...

Despite being continually kicked and strongly interacting, the atoms no longer absorb energy. The system localizes in momentum space, the momentum distribution literally freezes, a remarkable ...

Quantum many-body localisation (MBL) describes a regime in which interacting quantum particles fail to achieve thermal equilibrium due to the combined effects of disorder and strong quantum ...

That is, until about 16 years ago when it was argued that disorder in a quantum system was thought to result in many-body localization (MBL). “This phenomenon, which was recognized by the Lars Onsager ...

Quantum many-body physics explores emergent properties of many interacting quantum particles, which often have no counterpart in classical systems. Of particular interest is the study of ...
