• Abstract summary: We show that a significant fraction of eigenstates of the system is localized in the presence of strong interactions. Results suggest that the system becomes ergodic in the standard thermodynamic limit in which the energy of the system is extensive. We show that our findings can be experimentally verified by studies of time dynamics in many-body cavity quantum electrodynamics setups.

• Abstract: Many-body localization (MBL) behavior is analyzed {in an extended Bose-Hubbard model with quasiperiodic infinite-range interactions. No additional disorder is present. Examining level statistics and entanglement entropy of eigenstates we show that a significant fraction of eigenstates of the system is localized in the presence of strong interactions. In spite of this, our results suggest that the system becomes ergodic in the standard thermodynamic limit in which the energy of the system is extensive. At the same time, the MBL regime seems to be stable if one allows for a super-extensive scaling of the energy. We show that our findings can be experimentally verified by studies of time dynamics in many-body cavity quantum electrodynamics setups. The "quench spectroscopy" is a particularly effective tool that allows us to systematically study energy dependence of time dynamics and to investigate a mobility edge in our system.

  Isolated interacting quantum systems generally thermalize, yet there are several counterexamples for the breakdown of ergodicity. Recently, ergodicity breaking has been observed in systems subjected to linear potentials, termed Stark many-body localization. Here, we experimentally explore initial-state dependent dynamics using a ladder-type superconducting processor with up to 24 qubits.

  We show that introduction of harmonic and spin-dependent linear potentials sufficiently validates fTWA for longer times. In particular, we focus on a finite two-dimensional system and show that at intermediate linear potential strength, the addition of a harmonic potential and spin dependence of the tilt, results in subdiffusive dynamics.

  We experimentally investigate individual spin dynamics in a two-dimensional ensemble of electron spins on the surface of a diamond crystal. We show that this anomalously slow relaxation rate is due to the presence of strong dynamical disorder. Our work paves the way towards microscopic study and control of quantum thermalization in strongly interacting disordered spin ensembles.

We show in exact diagonalization simulations of the one-dimensional $t-J$ model that the spinons start to populate previously unoccupied states in an effective band structure. The dependence of the spectral function on the time after the pump pulse reveals collective interactions among spinons.
