The aim of this proposal is to study quantum dynamics in the presence of disorder, and specifically the Anderson and many-body localization transition to a phase where transport and thermalization are absent. Localization in quantum systems has both deep fundamental implications in many different fields and exciting practical applications in quantum technology. In this action the researcher, who is experienced in the statistical physics of quantum disordered systems, will address in a novel and timely way this topic. She aims to improve understanding of it with a three-fold approach: a quantum information experimental effort; new theoretical tools coming from the study of random matrices and the physics of glassy systems; and a joint work with a non-academic entity on numerical methods that use artificial neural networks for the classification of the localized phase. She will perform this work in the perfectly suited environment of the Thermodynamics and Energetics of Quantum Systems research group at Trinity College Dublin.
