• Abstract summary: We study a bosonic Hubbard model featuring two particle species representing the bath and the disordered system. We observe clear signatures of a transition from an MBL proximity effect to a delocalized phase. In this regime, we characterize particle transport, revealing diffusive behavior of the originally localized bosons.

• Abstract: The many-body localization (MBL) proximity effect is an intriguing phenomenon where a thermal bath localizes due to the interaction with a disordered system. The interplay of thermal and non-ergodic behavior in these systems gives rise to a rich phase diagram, whose exploration is an active field of research. In this work, we study a bosonic Hubbard model featuring two particle species representing the bath and the disordered system. Using state of the art numerical techniques, we investigate the dynamics of the model in different regimes, based on which we obtain a tentative phase diagram as a function of coupling strength and bath size. When the bath is composed of a single particle, we observe clear signatures of a transition from an MBL proximity effect to a delocalized phase. Increasing the bath size, however, its thermalizing effect becomes stronger and eventually the whole system delocalizes in the range of moderate interaction strengths studied. In this regime, we characterize particle transport, revealing diffusive behavior of the originally localized bosons.

  We study subradiance in a Bose-Einstein condensate positioned at the mode crossing of two optical cavities. metastable density structures that suppress emission into one cavity mode prevent relaxation to the stationary, superradiant grating. We reproduce these dynamics by a quantum mean field model, suggesting that subradiance shares characteristics with quasi-stationary states predicted in other long-range interacting systems.

  The Su-Schrieffer-Heeger chain is a prototype example of a symmetry-protected topological insulator. Coupling it non-perturbatively to local thermal environments, either through the intercell or the intracell fermion tunneling elements, modifies the topological window. We employ the recently developed reaction-coordinate polaron transform (RCPT) method, which allows treating system-bath interactions at arbitrary strengths.

  We present a numerically-exact and efficient technique for tackling the problem of capturing multi-bath system dynamics. We test the method by applying it to a simple model system that exhibits non-additive behaviour. We uncover a new regime where the quantum Zeno effect leads to a fully mixed state of the electronic system.
