Dynamics of a Many-Body-Localized System Coupled to a Bath
Dynamics of a Many-Body-Localized System Coupled to a Bath
Coupling a many-body-localized system to a dissipative bath necessarily leads to delocalization. Here, we investigate the nature of the ensuing relaxation dynamics and the information it holds on the many-body-localized state. We formulate the relevant Lindblad equation in terms of the local integrals of motion of the underlying localized Hamiltonian. …
