Systems with quenched disorder host fascinating dynamical phases including many-body localization. Theoretical description of such phases proves challenging since it requires disorder-averaging over many configurations, and very rare configurations may have an important effect. Here, the authors introduce a new method, based on the Feynman-Vernon influence functional, that allows one to directly access the disorder-averaged dynamics of quantum spin chains. This formulation provides a starting point for describing the many-body localization transition using variational and analytical techniques.
