• Abstract summary: We study the many-body localization (MBL) transition and relate it to the eigenstate structure in the Fock space. We introduce the radial probability distribution of eigenstate coefficients with respect to the Hamming distance in the Fock space. We show that the MBL transition can been seen as a transition between ergodic states to non-ergodic extended states.

• Abstract: In this work we study the many-body localization (MBL) transition and relate it to the eigenstate structure in the Fock space. Besides the standard entanglement and multifractal probes, we introduce the radial probability distribution of eigenstate coefficients with respect to the Hamming distance in the Fock space from the wave function maximum and relate the cumulants of this distribution to the properties of the quasi-local integrals of motion in the MBL phase. We demonstrate non-self-averaging property of the many-body fractal dimension $D_q$ and directly relate it to the jump of $D_q$ as well as of the localization length of the integrals of motion at the MBL transition. We provide an example of the continuous many-body transition confirming the above relation via the self-averaging of $D_q$ in the whole range of parameters. Introducing a simple toy-model, which hosts ergodic thermal bubbles, we give analytical evidences both in standard probes and in terms of newly introduced radial probability distribution that the MBL transition in the Fock space is consistent with the avalanche mechanism for delocalization, i.e., the Kosterlitz-Thouless scenario. Thus, we show that the MBL transition can been seen as a transition between ergodic states to non-ergodic extended states and put the upper bound for the disorder scaling for the genuine Anderson localization transition with respect to the non-interacting case.

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 explore the Fock-space structure of eigenstates across the many-body localisation (MBL) transition in a disordered, interacting quantum spin-1/2 chain. Eigenstate expectation values of spatially local observables can be represented in terms of eigenstate amplitudes on the Fock space. We show how correlation functions on the Fock space reveal the inhomogeneities in eigenstate amplitudes on the Fock space in the MBL phase.

• Detecting delocalization-localization transitions from full density distributions [0.0]
  Characterizing the delocalization transition in closed quantum systems with a many-body localized phase is a key open question in the field of nonequilibrium physics. We study its scaling behavior across delocalozation transitions and identify critical points from scaling collapses of numerical data. We observe a distinctively different scaling behavior in the case of interacting fermions with random disorder consistent with a Kosterlitz-Thouless transition.

  The eigenstate thermalization hypothesis (ETH) offers a universal mechanism for the approach to equilibrium of closed quantum many-body systems. Here, we propose a theory-independent route to probe the full ETH in quantum simulators by observing the emergence of fluctuation-dissipation relations. Our work presents a theory-independent way to characterize thermalization in quantum simulators and paves the way to quantum simulate condensed matter pump-probe experiments.

  In one dimension the many-body localization transition is accompanied by a spin freezing mechanism which causes chain breakings in the thermodynamic limit. We show that such chain breakings directly probe the typical localization length, and that their scaling properties at the MBL transition agree with the Kosterlitz-Thouless scenario predicted by renormalization group approaches.
