Ergodicity Breaking and Anomalous Transport in Quantum Many-Body Systems

International Workshop
04 - 08  October 2021

The workshop will bring together leading experts in the fields of many-body localization (MBL) and generalized hydrodynamics (GHD), experimentalists and theorists. These two rapidly developing fields have multiple connections: they address non-equilibrium physics of many-body systems that either completely break ergodicity or show very slow thermalization, and also exhibit anomalous transport. Further, experimental platforms and computational approaches to both classes of systems have much in common.

We plan for a hybrid workshop with a number of participants on-site and the others connected via video conference.
For accepted participants, online attendance will be possible in any case. The organizers will decide and inform about an option of on-site attendance at a later stage.

• MBL: properties of many-body wave functions, energy levels, and related observables
• MBL transition and critical behavior
• Effects of periodic driving and coupling to a bath
• Anomalously slow dynamics near the MBL transition
• MBL and quantum information
• GHD in integrable systems; effects of integrability breaking
• Anomalous diffusion in GHD regime
• Experimental realizations of MBL and GHD, including cold atoms, trapped ions, spin chains, qubit arrays.
