Quantum logarithmic multifractality

Through a combination of rigorous analytical derivations and extensive numerical simulations, this work reports an exotic multifractal behavior, dubbed "logarithmic multifractality", in effectively infinite-dimensional systems undergoing the Anderson transition. In marked contrast to conventional multifractal critical properties observed at finite-dimensional Anderson transitions or scale-invariant second-order phase transitions, in the presence of logarithmic multifractality, eigenstate statistics, spatial correlations, and wave packet dynamics can all exhibit scaling laws which are algebraic in the logarithm of system size or time. Our findings offer crucial insights into strong finite-size effects and slow dynamics in complex systems undergoing the Anderson transition, such as the many-body localization transition.
