Such time-domain formulation is complementary to the formulation of the many-body localization of all stationary states with a large localization length. The long localization lifetime is achieved by constructing a periodic sequence of site energies with a large period in a one-dimensional chain. The scaling of the localization lifetime is independent of the number of particles for a broad range of the coupling strength. The analytical results are confirmed by numerical calculations.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2016-11-17T14:48:05.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "periodic constructed disorder", "many-body system", "site energies", "long localization lifetime", "large localization length" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 0, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
