We investigate Anderson transitions for a system of two particles moving in a three-dimensional disordered lattice and subject to on-site (Hubbard) interactions of strength U. The two-body problem is exactly mapped into an effective…

We explore the interplay of disorder and topological phenomena in honeycomb lattices of atoms coupled by the electromagnetic field. On the one hand, disorder can trigger transitions between distinct topological phases and drive the lattice…
The metal-insulator transition (MIT) observed in two-dimensional (2D) systems is apparently contradictory to the well known scaling theory of localization. By investigating the conductance of disordered one-dimensional systems with a finite…

We review the present status of the Anderson transition in the spectrum of the Dirac operator of QCD-like theories on the lattice. Localized modes at the low-end of the spectrum have been found in SU(2) Yang-Mills theory with overlap and…
Wave localization is ubiquitous in disordered media -- from amorphous materials, where soft-mode localization is closely related to materials failure, to semi-conductors, where Anderson localization leads to metal-insulator transition. Our…
We present two complementary simulations that lead to an exploration of Anderson localization, a phenomenon in which wave diffusion is suppressed in disordered media by interference from multiple scattering. To build intuition, the first…
Random electron systems show rich phases such as Anderson insulator, diffusive metal, quantum and anomalous quantum Hall insulator, Weyl semimetal, as well as strong/weak topological insulators. Eigenfunctions of each matter phase have…

Within the framework of tight binding models, aperiodic systems are mapped to a renormalized lattice with a dimer defect. In models exhibiting metal-insulator transition, the dimer acts like a resonant cavity and explains the existence of…
Throughout history, all developmental trajectories of civilization - encompassing progress, creation, and innovation - have fundamentally pursued the paradigm shift 'from disorder to order'. In photonics, investigations into disordered…

We study temperature induced metal-insulator transition in doped ferromagnetic semiconductors, described by s-d exchange model. The transition is a result of the mobility edge movement, the disorder being due to magnetic ions spin density…

We investigate the QCD Dirac operator with gauge configurations given by a liquid of instantons in the region of temperatures about the chiral phase transition. Both the quenched and unquenched cases are examined in detail. We present…
