Abstract:
Detecting many-body localization (MBL) typically requires the calculation of high-energy eigenstates using numerical approaches. This study investigates methods that assume the use of a quantum device to detect disorder-induced localization. Numerical simulations for small systems demonstrate how the magnetization and twist overlap, which can be easily obtained from the measurement of qubits in a quantum device, changing from the thermal phase to the localized phase. The twist overlap evaluated using the wave function at the end of the time evolution behaves similarly to the one evaluated with eigenstates in the middle of the energy spectrum under a specific condition. The twist overlap evaluated using the wave function after time evolution for many disorder realizations is a promising probe for detecting MBL in quantum computing approaches.

Protein Dynamics in Living Cells
Fluorescent recovery after photobleaching (FRAP) is a fluorescent-protein-based detection technique used to quantify protein movement rates within the cell. This method exposes a small portion of the cell to an intense laser beam. The laser beam causes permanent photobleaching of the fluorophore-tagged proteins in the exposed region. As the bleached...

Detection of Black Holes
Their closest cousins are neutron stars, which are composed almost entirely of neutrons packed against each other, making them extremely dense. A neutron star has the same mass as the Sun but its diameter is only a few kilometers. Therefore, the escape velocity from their surface is close to the speed of light.
Not until the 1960s, when the first neutron...
