• Abstract: The failure of quantum thermalization due to Many-Body Localization (MBL) has evolved from a theoretical concept in spin chains to an experimental reality in synthetic quantum platforms, most notably superconducting circuits based on transmon qubits. Despite its significance, the MBL transition has been studied primarily under purely random disorder and local couplings, leaving more complex and realistic configurations largely unexplored. Here, we investigate the quantum dynamics of transmon networks subject to the unavoidable competing effects of correlated disorder and network-mediated non-local interactions. First, we show how to engineer the physical parameters of the quantum hardware to systematically control the correlated disorder patterns emerging in the system. Then, we demonstrate that the MBL phase transition is robust against such correlations, which is essential for tuning localization properties in realistic transmon devices. This robustness is established through the analysis of the block entanglement entropy variance across disorder realizations, which precisely locates the MBL critical point. Independently, we introduce a local memory parameter, whose dynamics at long evolution times reveals memory retention in the localized phase and yields a critical point consistent with the entropy analysis. These results provide a framework for understanding localization in complex quantum network topologies, with potential implications for multi-qubit processor design.
