• Abstract: Localization is one of the most fundamental interference phenomena caused by randomness, and its universal aspects have been extensively explored from the perspective of one-parameter scaling mainly for static properties. We numerically study dynamics of fermions on disordered onedimensional potentials exhibiting localization and find dynamical one-parameter scaling for surface roughness, which represents particle-number fluctuations at a given lengthscale, and for entanglement entropy when the system is in delocalized phases. This dynamical scaling corresponds to the Family-Vicsek scaling originally developed in classical surface growth, and the associated scaling exponents depend on the type of disorder. Notably, we find that partially localized states in the delocalized phase of the random-dimer model lead to anomalous scaling, where destructive interference unique to quantum systems leads to exponents unknown for classical systems and clean systems.

  We develop a field-theoretical framework that provides a unified approach to observables characterizing entanglement and charge fluctuations. Within this framework, we derive a replicated Keldysh non-linear sigma model (NLSM) By using the renormalization-group approach for the NLSM, we determine the phase diagram and the scaling of physical observables.

  We study the possibility of disorder-free localization in the lattice Schwinger model. We argue that entanglement growth, averaged over charge sectors, is more naturally explained as either single-logarithmic or a weak power law in time. Our results thus suggest the existence of a single ergodicity-breaking regime due to Hilbert space fragmentation.

  We investigate the out-of-equilibrium dynamics of spinless fermions in a one-dimensional quasiperiodic model with and without a periodic driving. In absence of periodic driving, the model is interestingly shown to host a subdiffusive critical phase. We construct an effective Floquet Hamiltonian, which qualitatively captures this feature occurring in the driven model.

It is widely known that the sub-leading term of the entanglement entropy of a disk geometry in conventional topologically ordered phases is related to the total number of the quantum dimension of the fractional excitations.

  Unavoidable coupling of quantum systems to external degrees of freedom leads to dissipative (non-unitary) dynamics. We introduce a method to deal with these systems based on the calculation of (dissipative) lattice Green's function. We illustrate the power of this method with several examples of driven-dissipative bosonic chains of increasing complexity.
