• Authors: Titas Chanda, Ruixiao Yao, Jakub Zakrzewski
• Abstract summary: We show that the presence of a harmonic trap may in itself lead to many-body localization for cold atoms confined in that trap in a quasi-one-dimensional geometry. We discuss both the spinless and the spinful fermions, for the latter we address Stark localization at the same time as it has not been analyzed up till now.

• Abstract: We show that the presence of a harmonic trap may in itself lead to many-body localization for cold atoms confined in that trap in a quasi-one-dimensional geometry. Specifically, the coexistence of delocalized phase in the center of the trap with localized region closer to the edges is predicted with the borderline dependent on the curvature of the trap. The phenomenon, similar in its origin to Stark localization, should be directly observed with cold atomic species. We discuss both the spinless and the spinful fermions, for the latter we address Stark localization at the same time as it has not been analyzed up till now.

• Scale-tailored localization and its observation in non-Hermitian electrical circuits [11.17570969067434]
  We unveil a novel localization phenomenon associated with long-range asymmetric coupling, termed scale-tailored localization. We show that the long-range coupling fundamentally reshapes the energy spectra and eigenstates by creating multiple connected paths on the lattice. We present experimental observations of scale-tailored localization in non-Hermitian electrical circuits utilizing adjustable voltage followers and switches.

• Engineering skin effect across a junction of Hermitian and non-Hermitian lattice [0.0]
  We study a system where the two edges of a non-Hermitian lattice with asymmetric nearest-neighbor hopping are connected with two Hermitian lattices with symmetric nearest-neighbor hopping. In the absence of those Hermitian lattices, the majority of the eigenstates of the system will be localized at the edges. We show that once we connect it with the Hermitian lattices, for open boundary conditions (OBC), the localized states exist at the junction of the non-Hermitian and Hermitian lattices.

• Entanglement and localization in long-range quadratic Lindbladians [49.1574468325115]
  Signatures of localization have been observed in condensed matter and cold atomic systems. We propose a model of one-dimensional chain of non-interacting, spinless fermions coupled to a local ensemble of baths. We show that the steady state of the system undergoes a localization entanglement phase transition by tuning $p$ which remains stable in the presence of coherent hopping.

  We investigate the phase diagram of hard-core bosons in two-leg ladders in the presence of soft-shoulder potentials. We show how the competition between local and non-local terms gives rise to a phase diagram with liquid phases with dominant cluster, spin, and density-wave quasi-long-range ordering.

  We investigate many-body localization of interacting spinless fermions in a one-dimensional disordered and tilted lattice. Fermions undergo energy-dependent transitions from ergodic to Stark many-body localization driven by the tilted potential. In the Stark many-body localization, the entanglement entropy obeys the area law scaling, in analogy to that in the conventional many-body localization.

• Anisotropy-mediated reentrant localization [62.997667081978825]
  We consider a 2d dipolar system, $d=2$, with the generalized dipole-dipole interaction $sim r-a$, and the power $a$ controlled experimentally in trapped-ion or Rydberg-atom systems. We show that the spatially homogeneous tilt $beta$ of the dipoles giving rise to the anisotropic dipole exchange leads to the non-trivial reentrant localization beyond the locator expansion.
