Using simple scaling arguments and an analysis of various models for which rigorous results are available, we find that these measures can be particularly adversely affected by the strong finite-size effects observed in nearly all numerical studies of many-body localization. This severely impacts their utility in probing the transition and the localized phase. In light of this analysis, we discuss a recent study (Šuntajs et al., 2020) of the behaviour of the Thouless energy and level repulsion in disordered spin chains, and its implications for the question of whether MBL is a true phase of matter."}],"publisher":"Elsevier","article_processing_charge":"No","issue":"4","language":[{"iso":"eng"}],"user_id":"4359f0d1-fa6c-11eb-b949-802e58b17ae8","quality_controlled":"1","external_id":{"arxiv":["1911.04501"],"isi":["000634879800007"]},"publication":"Annals of Physics","day":"01","status":"public","date_published":"2021-04-01T00:00:00Z","publication_identifier":{"eissn":["1096035X"],"issn":["00034916"]},"main_file_link":[{"url":"https://arxiv.org/abs/1911.04501","open_access":"1"}],"article_type":"original","isi":1,"oa_version":"Preprint","oa":1,"publication_status":"published","intvolume":"       427","_id":"9224","title":"Distinguishing localization from chaos: Challenges in finite-size systems","department":[{"_id":"MaSe"}],"date_created":"2021-03-07T23:01:25Z","date_updated":"2023-08-07T13:58:30Z","month":"04","volume":427,"type":"journal_article","year":"2021","article_number":"168415","author":[{"first_name":"D.
