We provide a pedagogical review on the calculation of highly excited eigenstates of disordered interacting quantum systems which can undergo a many-body localization (MBL) transition, using shift-invert exact diagonalization. We also provide an example code at https://bitbucket.org/dluitz/sinvert_mbl. Through a detailed analysis of the simulational parameters of the random field Heisenberg spin chain, we provide a practical guide on how to perform efficient computations. We present data for mid-spectrum eigenstates of spin chains of sizes up to L=26L=26. This work is also geared towards readers with interest in efficiency of parallel sparse linear algebra techniques that will find a challenging application in the MBL problem.

Motivated by the search for a quantum analogue of the macroscopic fluctuation theory, we study quantum spin chains dissipatively coupled to quantum noise. The dynamical processes are encoded in quantum stochastic differential equations. They induce dissipative friction on the spin chain currents. We show that, as the friction becomes stronger, the noise induced dissipative effects localize the spin chain states on a slow mode manifold, and we determine the effective stochastic quantum dynamics of these slow modes. We illustrate this approach by studying the quantum stochastic Heisenberg spin chain.

Abstract Although the energy spectrum of the Heisenberg spin chain on a circle defined by$$ H=\frac{1}{4}\sum \limits_{k=1}^M\left({\sigma}_k^x{\sigma}_{k+1}^x+{\sigma}_k^y{\sigma}_{k+1}^y+\Delta {\sigma}_k^z{\sigma}_{k+1}^z\right) $$ H = 1 4 ∑ k = 1 M σ k x σ k + 1 x + σ k y σ k + 1 y + Δ σ k z σ k + 1 z is well known for any fixed M, the boundary conditions vary according to whether M ∈ 4ℕ + r, where r = −1, 0, 1, 2, and also according to the parity of the number of overturned spins in the state, In string theory all these cases must be allowed because interactions involve a string with M spins breaking into strings with M1< M and M − M1 spins (or vice versa). We organize the energy spectrum and degeneracies of H in the case ∆ = 0 where the system is equivalent to a system of free fermions. In spite of the multiplicity of special cases, in the limit M → ∞ the spectrum is that of a free compactified worldsheet field. Such a field can be interpreted as a compact transverse string coordinate x(σ) ≡ x(σ) + R0. We construct the bosonization formulas explicitly in all separate cases, and for each sector give the Virasoro conformal generators in both fermionic and bosonic formulations. Furthermore from calculations in the literature for selected classes of excited states, there is strong evidence that the only change for ∆ ≠ 0 is a change in the compactification radius R0→ R∆. As ∆ → −1 this radius goes to infinity, giving a concrete example of noncompact space emerging from a discrete dynamical system. Finally we apply our work to construct the three string vertex implied by a string whose bosonic coordinates emerge from this mechanism.

Abstract A new nonlinear integral equation (NLIE) describing the thermodynamics of the Heisenberg spin chain is derived based on the t − W relation of the quantum transfer matrices. The free energy of the system in a magnetic field is thus obtained by solving the NLIE. This method can be generalized to other lattice quantum integrable models. Taking the SU(3)-invariant quantum spin chain as an example, we construct the corre- sponding NLIEs and compute the free energy. The present results coincide exactly with those obtained via other methods previously.

The Heisenberg spin 1/2 chain is revisited in the perturbative RG approach with special focus on the transition of the critical exponents. We give a compact review that first order RG in the couplings is sufficient to derive the exact transition from ν = 1 to ν = 2/3, if the boson radius obtained in the bosonization procedure is replaced by the exact radius obtained in the Bethe approach. We explain the fact, that from the bosonization procedure alone, the critical exponent can not be derived correctly in the isotropic limit Jz → J. We further state that this fact is important if we consider to bosonize the antiferromagnetic super spin chain for the quantum Hall effect.
