Abstract
The problem of two electrons in a two-dimensional random potential is addressed numerically. Specifically, the role of the Coulomb interaction between electrons on localization is investigated by writing the Hamiltonian on a localized basis and diagonalizing it exactly. The result of that procedure is discussed in terms of level statistics, the expectation value of the electron-electron separation, and a configuration-space inverse participation number. We argue that, in the interacting problem, a localization-delocalization crossover in real space does not correspond exactly to a Poisson-Wigner crossover in level statistics.
