Abstract

This paper considers the family of Schr\"odinger operators on 2(Z)\ell^2(\mathbb{Z}) given by independent but not necessarily identically distributed and possibly unbounded potentials. We assume a finite exponential moment and allow the choice of distributions to come from any compact set away from deterministic distributions. With these assumptions we prove spectral localization with exponentially decaying eigenfunctions as well as dynamical localization. One of the main tools is a Furstenberg-type theorem for non-stationary matrix products.
