• Abstract: Critical states represent a fundamental and fascinating research frontier in Anderson localization physics, known for their non-ergodic properties, including multifractal structure and self-similarity. However, exactly characterizing critical states continues to pose a significant challenge up to now. In this work, we establish a universal mechanism demonstrating that critical states must maintain dual-space invariance in both position and momentum representations, leading to delocalized dynamics in both spaces. Therefore, our discovery soundly answers this long-standing unsolved puzzle regarding the definition of the critical state and its rigorous characterization. Furthermore, keeping pace with the idea of Liu-Xia criterion, we prove rigorously that physical quantities being directly observed in experiments, such as the inverse participation ratio and information entropy, exhibit invariance in both position and momentum spaces as expected. Subsequent numerical simulations provide the smoking gun for the correctness of the dual-space invariance, thereby not only highlighting the universality of the rigorous mechanism, but also establishing a robust foundation for future experimental validation of critical states.

By tying the dynamical propagation in the Krylov basis to that in the basis of microstates, we infer qualitative criteria to distinguish systems that remain localized close to their initial state.

  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.

  The critical state in disordered systems is a fascinating and subtle eigenstate. Most studies focus on numerical verification, and cannot predict the system in which the critical state exists. We propose an explicit and universal criterion that for the critical state Lyapunov exponent should be 0 simultaneously in dual spaces.

  We examine how the presence of an excited state quantum phase transition manifests in the dynamics of a many-body system subject to a sudden quench. We demonstrate that the work probability distribution displays non-Gaussian behavior for quenches in the vicinity of the excited state critical point. We assess the role that symmetry breaking has on the ensuing dynamics, highlighting that its effect is only quenches beyond the critical point.
