Many body localization (MBL) phenomena are attracted in condensed matter community. MBL possesses rich physical contents compared to Anderson localization. A lot of studies have been reported. So far, the conventional MBL is believed to occur in disordered system, i.e., system without translational symmetry, but one asks a question whether MBL occurs in some clean systems with translational invariance, i.e, disorder-free MBL. In this talk, I want to report one example of such a disorder-free MBL. It is a complete flat-band system with interactions, called the flat-band Creutz ladder. I numerically verified the typical properties of the MBL in the flat-band Creutz ladder with interactions. The statistical properties exhibit the tendency of the existence of MBL and ergodicity-breaking dynamics is numerically verified.
