Abstract

The ensemble of L×LL \times L power-law random banded matrices, where the random hopping Hi,jH_{i,j} decays as a power-law (b/ij)a(b/| i-j |)^a, is known to present an Anderson localization transition at a=1a=1, where one-particle eigenfunctions are multifractal. Here we study numerically, at this critical point, the statistical properties of the transmission T2T_2 for two distinguishable particles, two bosons or two fermions. We find that the statistics of T2T_2 is multifractal, i.e. the probability to have T2(L)1/LκT_2(L) \sim 1/L^{\kappa} behaves as LΦ2(κ)L^{\Phi_2(\kappa)}, where the multifractal spectrum Φ2(κ)\Phi_2(\kappa) for fermions is different from the common multifractal spectrum concerning distinguishable particles and bosons. However in the three cases, the typical transmission T2typ(L)T_2^{typ}(L) is governed by the same exponent κ2typ\kappa_2^{typ}, which is much smaller than the naive expectation 2κ1typ2\kappa_1^{typ}, where κ1typ\kappa_1^{typ} is the typical exponent of the one-particle transmission T1(L)T_1(L).
