The formation of self-organized patterns and localized states are ubiquitous in Nature. Localized states containing trivial symmetries such as stripes, hexagons, or squares have been profusely studied. Disordered patterns with non-trivial…
It has been widely believed that almost all states in one-dimensional (1d) disordered systems with short-range hopping and uncorrelated random potential are localized. Here, we consider the fate of these localized states by coupling between…
We describe how to engineer wavefunction delocalization in disordered systems modelled by tight-binding Hamiltonians in d>1 dimensions. We show analytically that a simple product structure for the random onsite potential energies, together…
We study the energy spectrum of a system of localized states coupled to a 2D electron gas in strong magnetic field. If the energy levels of localized states are close to the electron energy in the plane, the system exhibits a kind of…
We investigate the transition induced by disorder in a periodically-driven one-dimensional model displaying quantized topological transport. We show that, while instantaneous eigenstates are necessarily Anderson localized, the periodic…
This work supports the existence of extended nonergodic states in the intermediate region between the chaotic (thermal) and the many-body localized phases. These states are identified through an extensive analysis of static and dynamical…
The Cooper problem is studied numerically for the Anderson model with disorder in two-dimensions. It is shown that the attractive Hubbard interaction creates a phase of bi-particle localized states in the regime where non-interacting states…
Motivated by current interest in disordered systems of interacting electrons, the effectiveness of the geometrically averaged density of states, $\rho_g(\omega)$, as an order parameter for the Anderson transition is examined. In the context…
We study Anderson localization of single particles in continuous, correlated, one-dimensional disordered potentials. We show that tailored correlations can completely change the energy-dependence of the localization length. By considering…
The understanding of disordered quantum systems is still far from being complete, despite many decades of research on a variety of physical systems. In this review we discuss how Bose-Einstein condensates of ultracold atoms in disordered…
We study the spatial structure of wave functions with exceptionally high local amplitudes in the Anderson model of localisation. By means of exact diagonalisations of finite systems, we obtain and analyse images of these wave functions: we…
Anderson localization is the ubiquitous phenomenon of inhibition of transport of classical and quantum waves in a disordered medium. In dimension one, it is well known that all states are localized, implying that the distribution of an…
Anderson localization is a fundamental phenomenon in disordered quantum systems, where transport is suppressed by wave interference from extensive randomness. Moving beyond traditional multi-impurity scenarios, we investigate…
In analogy with usual Anderson localization taking place in time-independent disordered quantum systems where the disorder acts in configuration space, systems exposed to temporally disordered potentials can display Anderson localization in…
Localized states in one-dimensional open disordered systems and their connection to the internal structure of random samples have been studied. It is shown that the localization of energy and anomalously high transmission associated with…
Localization of wavefunctions is arguably the most familiar effect of disorder in quantum systems. It has been recently argued [[V. Khemani, R. Nandkishore, and S. L. Sondhi, Nature Physics, 11, 560 (2015)] that, contrary to naive…
Emerging experimental platforms use amorphousness, a constrained form of disorder, to tailor meta-material properties. We study localization under this type of disorder in a family of 2D models generalizing recent experiments on photonic…
We consider diagonal disordered one-dimensional Anderson models with an underlying periodicity. We assume the simplest periodicity, i.e., we have essentially two lattices, one that is composed of the random potentials and the other of…
Anderson impurity problem is considered for a graphene bilayer subject to a gap-opening bias. In-gap localized states are produced even when the impurity level overlaps with the continuum of band electrons. The effect depends strongly on…
We study the interplay of disorder and interaction effects including bosonic degrees of freedom in the framework of a generic one-dimensional transport model, the Anderson-Edwards model. Using the density-matrix renormalization group…
