Role of interactions in a dissipative many-body localized system (2017)
Journal Article
Everest, B., Lesanovsky, I., Garrahan, J. P., & Levi, E. (2017). Role of interactions in a dissipative many-body localized system. Physical Review B, 95(2), https://doi.org/10.1103/PhysRevB.95.024310

Recent experimental and theoretical efforts have focused on the effect of dissipation on quantum many-body systems in their many-body localized (MBL) phase. While in the presence of dephasing noise such systems reach a unique ergodic state, their dyn... Read More about Role of interactions in a dissipative many-body localized system.

This paper presents a simple method to analyse the behaviour of feedback loops that contain a naturally-sampled single-edge pulse-width modulator. A small-signal model is derived by means of simple geometric arguments. It is shown how this small-sign... Read More about Small-signal analysis of naturally-sampled single-edge PWM control loops.
