SUMMARY:Semiclassical Phase Space Methods to Probe the MBL Transition
DESCRIPTION:Featuring Jonathan Wurtz\n\nPart of the Preliminary Oral Exam.\
	n\nExamining Committee:\n\nAnatoli Polkovnikov\, Steve Ahlen\, Liam Fitzpat
	rick\, Chris Laumann\n\nAbstract:\n\nSimulation of interacting quantum syst
	ems is important in order to understand questions of thermalization\, many-
	body localization\, and propagation of quantum information\, as well as rep
	roducing the results of experiments. However\, most methods are limited to 
	small system sizes or low-dimensional systems. In this talk I present work 
	done on phase space methods\, which map fully quantum dynamics to classical
	 dynamics in an extended phase space. I will discuss the validity of the mo
	del\, some findings of MBL in 1d spin chains\, and conclude with future pro
	spects and goals for the rest of my PhD.
