Abstract
  • While there are well-established methods to study delocalization transitions of single particles in random systems, it remains a challenging problem how to characterize many-body delocalization transitions. Here, we use a generalized real-space renormalization group technique to study the anisotropic Heisenberg model with long-range interactions, decaying with a power α, which are generated by placing spins at random positions along the chain. This method permits a large-scale finite-size scaling analysis. We examine the full distribution function of the excitation energy gap from the ground state and observe a crossover with decreasing α. At $\alpha_c$ the full distribution coincides with a critical function. Thereby, we find strong evidence for the existence of a many-body localization transition in disordered antiferromagnetic spin chains with long-range interactions.
