• Abstract summary: Strong local disorder in interacting quantum spin chains can turn delocalized eigenmodes into localized eigenstates. This is accompanied by distinct spectral statistics: chaotic for the delocalized phase and integrable for the localized phase. We ask whether random dissipation (without random disorder) can induce chaotic or localized behavior in an otherwise integrable system.

• Abstract: Strong local disorder in interacting quantum spin chains can turn delocalized eigenmodes into localized eigenstates, giving rise to many-body localized (MBL) phases. This is accompanied by distinct spectral statistics: chaotic for the delocalized phase and integrable for the localized phase. In isolated systems, localization and chaos are defined through a web of relations among eigenvalues, eigenvectors, and real-time dynamics. These may change as the system is made open. We ask whether random dissipation (without random disorder) can induce chaotic or localized behavior in an otherwise integrable system. The dissipation is described using non-Hermitian Hamiltonians, which can effectively be obtained from Markovian dynamics conditioned on null measurement. Through the use of the singular value decomposition and the introduction of new diagnostic tools complementing the singular-value statistics, namely, the singular form factor, the inverse participation ratio, and entanglement entropy for singular vectors, we provide a positive answer. Our method is illustrated in an XXZ Hamiltonian with random local dissipation.

  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.

• Localization transitions in quadratic systems without quantum chaos [0.0]
  We study the one-dimensional Anderson and Wannier-Stark models that exhibit eigenstate transitions from localization in quasimomentum space to localization in position space. We show that the transition point may exhibit an unconventional character of Janus type, i.e., some measures hint at the RMT-like universality emerging at the transition point, while others depart from it. Our results hint at rich diversity of volume-law eigenstate entanglement entropies in quadratic systems that are not maximally entangled.

• Exploring Hilbert-Space Fragmentation on a Superconducting Processor [23.39066473461786]
  Isolated interacting quantum systems generally thermalize, yet there are several counterexamples for the breakdown of ergodicity. Recently, ergodicity breaking has been observed in systems subjected to linear potentials, termed Stark many-body localization. Here, we experimentally explore initial-state dependent dynamics using a ladder-type superconducting processor with up to 24 qubits.

• 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.

We show that signatures of quantum chaos in the time domain dictate a dip-ramp-plateau structure in the characteristic function. Global quantum chaos can be suppressed at strong coupling.

  We study random Kraus maps, allowing for a varying dissipation strength, and their local circuit counterpart. The steady state, on the contrary, is not affected by the spectral transition. The statistical properties of the local Kraus circuit are qualitatively the same as those of the nonlocal Kraus map.

  We focus on the many-body eigenstates across a localization-delocalization phase transition. In the ergodic phase, the average of eigenstate overlaps $barmathcalO$ is exponential decay with the increase of the system size. For localized systems, $barmathcalO$ is almost size-independent showing the strong robustness of the eigenstates.

  We show that the norm of the adiabatic gauge potential serves as a much more sensitive measure of quantum chaos. We are able to detect transitions from non-ergodic to ergodic behavior at perturbation strengths orders of magnitude smaller than those required for standard measures.
