| Popis: | This comment is dedicated to the investigation of many-body localization in a quantum Ising model with long-range power law interactions, $r^{-\alpha}$, relevant for a variety of systems ranging from electrons in Anderson insulators to spin excitations in chains of cold atoms. It has been earlier argued [1, 2] that this model obeys the dimensional constraint suggesting the delocalization of all finite temperature states in thermodynamic limit for $\alpha \leq 2d$ in a $d$-dimensional system. This expectation conflicts with the recent numerical studies of the specific interacting spin model in Ref. [3]. To resolve this controversy we reexamine the model of Ref. [3] and demonstrate that the infinite temperature states there obey the dimensional constraint. The earlier developed scaling theory for the critical system size required for delocalization [2] is extended to small exponents $0 \leq \alpha \leq d$. Disagreements between two works are explained by the non-standard selection of investigated states in the ordered phase and misinterpretation of the localization-delocalization transition in Ref. [3]. Comment: To be submitted to Physical Review A |
