Many-Body Localization in the Hartree-Fock Approximation — •Paul Pöpperl¹, Elmer Doggen², Konstantin Tikhonov², Igor Gornyi^1,2, and Alexander Mirlin^1,2 — ¹Institut für Theorie der kondensierten Materie, Karlsruhe Institute of Technology, 76131 Karlsruhe, Germany — ²Institute of Nanotechnology, Karlsruhe Institute of Technology, 76131 Karlsruhe, Germany

We investigate the quench dynamics of a spinless disordered Fermi-Hubbard model in the Hartree-Fock (HF) approximation. The one- dimensional model is expected to show a transition to a many-body localized (MBL) phase with increasing disorder at a fixed interaction strength. Surprisingly, the simple HF approximation qualitatively captures the MBL phenomenology [1]. We compare results from the HF approach to exact calculations and results obtained by the time-dependent variational principle (TDVP) [2] in order to illuminate the benefits and limitations of the HF approach.
