Critical dynamics at the Anderson localization mobility edge

Quantum Gases 2016-09-20 v2

Abstract

We study the critical dynamics of matter waves at the 3D Anderson mobility edge in cold-atom disorder quench experiments. General scaling arguments are supported by precision numerics for the spectral function, diffusion coefficient, and localization length in isotropic blue-detuned speckle potentials. We discuss signatures of critical slowdown in the time-dependent central column density of a spreading wave packet, and evaluate the prospects of observing anomalous diffusion right at criticality.
