Abstract

En 中文
Over a decade of work has culminated in the consensus that one-dimensional systems, subject to sufficiently large disorder, fail to thermalize and possess an extensive set of local integrals of motion. In this Letter, I will provide numerical evidence for the contrary. In particular, this work studies the dynamics of disordered spin chains which are weakly coupled to a Markovian bath. Within this approach, the critical disorder for stability to quantum avalanches exceeds W* greater than or similar to 20 in the random field Heisenberg chain. In stark contrast to the Anderson insulator, the avalanche threshold drifts considerably with system size, with no evidence of saturation in the studied regime.
