Rev. Lett. 118, 017201 (2017)). The non-interacting GAA model is a one-dimensional quasiperiodic model with a self-duality induced mobility edge. The advantage of SIMPS is that it targets many-body states in an energy-resolved fashion and does not require all many-body states to be localized for convergence, which allows us to test if the interacting GAA model manifests a many-body mobility edge. Our analysis indicates that the targeted states in the presence of the single particle mobility edge match neither `MBL-like' fully-converged localized states nor the fully delocalized case where SIMPS fails to converge. An entanglement-scaling analysis as a function of the finite bond dimension indicates that the many-body states in the vicinity of a single-particle mobility edge behave closer to how delocalized states manifest within the SIMPS method.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2020-12-17T18:59:39.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "many-body mobility edge", "matrix product states", "many-body states", "interactions", "single-particle mobility edge behave closer" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 16, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
