In quantum many-body systems, complexity arises not from randomness alone, but from the rich interplay of interactions and entanglement. These systems often exhibit emergent behavior, where global coherence emerges in ways that are absent in single- or few-body descriptions. While most many-body systems are governed by short-range interactions, we explore how strong correlations can arise even between spatially distant degrees of freedom by introducing the concept of multifractality in wave functions.
In this talk, we present new perspectives on how quantum many-body systems can exhibit long-range and effectively all-to-all coupling, despite being governed by local Hamiltonians. We highlight key examples where multifractal wave functions naturally appear, such as in quasiperiodic systems, systems with mobility edges, and near localization–delocalization transitions. These critical states possess spatially inhomogeneous amplitude distributions that mediate strong, non-local entanglement and random long-distance couplings, offering a novel route toward engineering globally connected quantum systems.
