TL;DR: This experiment experimentally observed this nonergodic evolution for interacting fermions in a one-dimensional quasirandom optical lattice and identified the MBL transition through the relaxation dynamics of an initially prepared charge density wave.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors identify the many-body localization transition through the relaxation dynamics of an initially-prepared charge density wave, and connect this dependence to the ubiquitous logarithmic growth of entanglement entropy characterizing the generic manybody localized phase.

TL;DR: A strikingly different behavior is found between many-body localization and Anderson localization: in the interacting case any coupling between the tubes leads to a delocalization of the entire system.

TL;DR: This work experimentally and numerically investigates the regime close to the many-body localization transition in quasiperiodic systems and finds slow relaxation of the density imbalanceclose to the transition, strikingly similar to the behavior near the transition in true-random systems.
