- Abstract summary: Anderson localization confines the wave function of a quantum particle in a one-dimensional random potential to a volume of the order of the localization length $xi$.
We predict and observe a universal intermediate logarithmic expansion regime which connects the mean-field diffusion with the final saturation regime and is entirely controlled by particle number $N$.

- Abstract: Anderson localization confines the wave function of a quantum particle in a
one-dimensional random potential to a volume of the order of the localization
length $\xi$. Nonlinear add-ons to the wave dynamics mimic many-body
interactions on a mean field level, and result in escape from the Anderson cage
and in unlimited subdiffusion of the interacting cloud. We address quantum
corrections to that subdiffusion by (i) using the ultrafast unitary Floquet
dynamics of discrete-time quantum walks, (ii) an interaction strength ramping
to speed up the subdiffusion, and (iii) an action discretization of the
nonlinear terms. We observe the saturation of the cloud expansion of $N$
particles to a volume $\sim N\xi$. We predict and observe a universal
intermediate logarithmic expansion regime which connects the mean-field
diffusion with the final saturation regime and is entirely controlled by
particle number $N$. The temporal window of that regime grows exponentially
with the localization length $\xi$.

A quantum simulation of magnetism in trapped-ion systems makes use of the crystal vibrations to mediate pairwise interactions between spins.
These interactions can be accounted for by a long-wavelength relativistic theory, where the phonons are described by a coarse-grained Klein-Gordon field.
We show that thermal effects, which can be controlled by laser cooling, can unveil this flow through the appearance of thermal masses in interacting QFTs.

We investigate the quantum diffusion of a periodically kicked particle subjecting to both nonlinearity induced self-interactions and $mathcalPT$-symmetric potentials.
In the $mathcalPT$-symmetry-breaking phase, the intensity of a state increases exponentially with time, leading to the exponential growth of the interaction strength.
The feedback of the intensity-dependent nonlinearity further turns the interaction energy into the kinetic energy, resulting in a super-exponential growth of the mean energy.
