Join a comprehensive quantum seminar where Professor David Huse, a distinguished theoretical physicist and National Academy of Science member, explores the fascinating phenomenon of Many-Body Localization (MBL). Delve into the complex interplay between Anderson localization and interacting quantum degrees of freedom in highly-excited states, understanding how these systems behave under conditions of nonzero entropy density at thermal equilibrium. Examine the contrast between MBL and thermalization, discovering how isolated quantum many-body systems can act as their own thermal baths. Learn about the two-stage transition process from thermalization to MBL in finite systems with short-range interactions, including the smooth crossover to a "glassy" prethermal MBL regime and the subsequent dynamical phase transition. Benefit from Professor Huse's extensive expertise, developed through his remarkable career spanning Bell Laboratories and Princeton University, as he shares insights from his award-winning research in spin glasses, superconductor vortices, and many-body quantum dynamics.
