In many-body localized (MBL) systems local observables do not equilibrate under unitary quantum dynamics and, therefore, these systems cannot be described within the framework of quantum statistical mechanics. Usually, the MBL phase is studied in locally interacting systems with static disorder e.g. a disordered Ising chain with nearest neighbour interactions. [1] Here, we study a disordered Ising chain in which all spins couple to a central d-level system (qudit), which induces spin flip interactions. Employing the multilayer multiconfiguration time-dependent Hartree approach [2,3], we are able to simulate the dynamics of large spin chains in a numerically exact way. Using this approach, we examine dynamical signatures of the localized and thermalizing phases at much larger system sizes than those achievable with exact diagonalization, consistent with having converged to the thermodynamic limit.
