Dynamics of entanglement and transport in one-dimensional systems with quenched randomness

Quenched randomness can have a dramatic effect on the dynamics of isolated 1D quantum many-body systems, even for systems that thermalize. This is because transport, entanglement, and operator spreading can be hindered by “Griffiths” rare regions, which locally resemble the many-body-localized phase...
