Abstract: Since the seminal work of Anderson, localisation has been recognised as a standard mechanism allowing quantum many-body systems to escape ergodicity. This idea acquired even more prominence in the last decade as it has been argued that localisation -- dubbed many-body localisation (MBL) in this context -- can sometimes survive local interactions in the presence of sufficiently strong disorder. A conventional signature of localisation is in the statistical properties of the spectrum -- spectral statistics -- which differ qualitatively from those...
