contents The Quantum Sun model is a many-body Hamiltonian model of interacting spins arranged on the half-line. Spins at distance $n$ from the origin are coupled to the rest of the system via a term of strength $α^n$, with $α\in (0,1)$. From theoretical and numerical considerations, it is believed that this model undergoes a localization-delocalization transition at the critical value $α=\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}$. We prove that, for $α\ll \frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}$, the model is localized and that its spectral statistics is Poissonian. The main interest of this result is that the model is a genuine many-body model. In particular, the number of independent disorder variables grows only logarithmically with the Hilbert space dimension.
