Remanent magnetization: signature of Many-Body Localization in quantum antiferromagnets
Abstract
We study the remanent magnetization in antiferromagnetic, many-body localized quantum spin chains, initialized in a fully magnetized state. Its long time limit is an order parameter for the localization transition, which is readily accessible by standard experimental probes in magnets. We analytically calculate its value in the strong-disorder regime exploiting the explicit construction of quasi-local conserved quantities of the localized phase. We discuss analogies in cold atomic systems.
