• Abstract: Many body localization (MBL) represents a unique physical phenomenon, providing a testing ground for exploring thermalization, or more precisely its failure. Here we characterize the MBL phase geometrically by the many-body quantum metric (MBQM), defined in the parameter space of twist boundary. We find that we can characterise the transition by comparing the thermodynamic limits of the MBQM and localization length as defined in the modern theory of polarization and insulators. As such we find that we can extract a natural localization length in the MBL phase that relies only on the real space spread of the wave function and can be measured through lattice shaking or AC response measurements.

  Local measurements cannot create entanglement, but they can convert short-range entanglement to long-range entanglement. We situate measurement-induced entanglement (MIE) in a broader context of the growth of long-range conditional mutual information (CMI) under decoherence.

  We study the geometric phase of a subset of self-closing trajectories induced by a continuous Gaussian measurement of a single qubit system. We show that the geometric phase of the most likely trajectories undergoes a topological transition for self-closing trajectories as a function of the measurement strength parameter.

• Quantum localization measures in phase space [0.0]
  Measuring the degree of localization of quantum states in phase space is essential for the description of the dynamics and equilibration of quantum systems. Here, we present a general scheme to define localization in measure spaces, which is based on what we call R'enyi occupations. We make a detailed comparison of two localization measures based on the Husimi function in the regime where the model is chaotic.

  Weak measurements in particular, through their back-action on the system, may enable various levels of coherent control. We measure the geometric phases induced by sequences of weak measurements and demonstrate a topological transition in the geometric phase controlled by measurement strength. Our results open new horizons for measurement-enabled quantum control of many-body topological states.

  The eigenstate thermalization hypothesis (ETH) offers a universal mechanism for the approach to equilibrium of closed quantum many-body systems. Here, we propose a theory-independent route to probe the full ETH in quantum simulators by observing the emergence of fluctuation-dissipation relations. Our work presents a theory-independent way to characterize thermalization in quantum simulators and paves the way to quantum simulate condensed matter pump-probe experiments.

  We show that the winding number of the Hamiltonian eigenstates can be read-out by measuring the mean chiral displacement of a single-particle wavefunction. This implies that the mean chiral displacement can detect the winding number even when the underlying Hamiltonian is quenched between different topological phases.

  Quantum Hall systems are characterized by the quantization of the Hall conductance -- a bulk property rooted in the topological structure of the underlying quantum states. Here, we realize a quantum Hall system using ultracold dysprosium atoms, in a two-dimensional geometry formed by one spatial dimension. We demonstrate that the large number of magnetic sublevels leads to distinct bulk and edge behaviors.
