shown for each site \(i\in \{1,2,\ldots 10\}\) in the chain. Pale lines show idealized (noiseless) simulations, dashed lines show simulations with depolarizing noise, and solid dots with 1σ-error bars are experimental data. As described in the Methods section, even sites are prepared and measured in the z basis and odd sites in the x basis. Whereas edge sites (i = 1, 10) exhibit period-three oscillations in Fibonacci time, the bulk sites (2 ≤ i ≤ 9) undergo random, but slowly decaying oscillations characteristic of the slow dephasing dynamics of MBL. Upon disorder- and/or site- averaging these random oscillations wash out as presented in Extended Data Fig. 9.
