• Abstract summary: We analytically show that, even though the model has no quenched disorder, this system manifests an exact mobility edge. For strong fields, the Wannier-Stark ladder is recovered and the number of localized eigenstates is inversely proportional to the spacing.

• Abstract: The existence of localization and mobility edges in one-dimensional lattices is commonly thought to depend on disorder (or quasidisorder). We investigate localization properties of a disorder-free lattice subject to an equally spaced electric field. We analytically show that, even though the model has no quenched disorder, this system manifests an exact mobility edge and the localization regime extends to weak fields, in contrast to gigantic field for the localization of a usual Stark lattice. For strong fields, the Wannier-Stark ladder is recovered and the number of localized eigenstates is inversely proportional to the spacing. Moreover, we study the time dependence of an initially localized excitation and dynamically probe the existence of mobility edge.

• Hilbert space fragmentation at the origin of disorder-free localization in the lattice Schwinger model [0.0]
  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.

  Author numerically investigates thermalization and many-body localization in translational invariant quantum chains. The long-time dynamics is dominated by the homogeneity eigenstates and eventually reach degenerate in real space. On the other hand, the entanglement entropy exhibits the size-dependence beyond the area law for the same reason, even deep in the localized state.

• 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.

• Local integrals of motion and the stability of many-body localisation in Wannier-Stark potentials [0.0]
  We study the form of the integrals of motion in disorder-free systems which exhibit localisation. We show that while in the absence of interactions, the LIOMs decay faster than exponentially, the addition of interactions leads to the formation of a slow-decaying plateau at short distances. We present evidence that adding a weak harmonic potential does not result in typical many-body localisation phenomenology.

  We show that even in the absence of disorder, and in the presence of bulk heating, $pi$ edge modes are long lived. A tunneling estimate for the lifetime is obtained by mapping the stroboscopic time-evolution to dynamics of a single particle in Krylov subspace.

  We present a theory of localisation in quasiperiodic chains with nearest-neighbour hoppings, based on the convergence of local propagators. Analysing the convergence of these continued fractions, localisation or its absence can be determined, yielding in turn the critical points and mobility edges. Results are exemplified by analysing the theory for three quasiperiodic models covering a range of behaviour.
