Description

Lv Zhang, Kai Xu, and Heng Fan study a puzzle in quantum physics in this twenty twenty-five paper. Some disordered materials can hold energy in place instead of letting it spread, a state called many-body localization. Rare hot spots can break that state and spread heat to nearby regions, like an avalanche.

The authors model a chain of linked particles that keeps a basic symmetry while its parts interact. They find an in-between phase where energy does spread, set between two unlike frozen phases. By tracking the slowest rate at which the system heats up when linked to a large outside bath, they show how the hot-spot effect shifts the point where the frozen state fails.
