Many-body localization in a disordered quantum dimer model on the honeycomb lattice

ORAL

Abstract

We numerically study the possibility of many-body localization transition in a disordered quantum dimer model on the honeycomb lattice.
By using the peculiar constraints of this model and state-of-the-art exact diagonalization and time evolution methods, we probe both eigenstates and dynamical properties, in large two-dimensional systems of up to N=108 sites.
