Disorder plays a critical role in signal transport, by controlling the correlation of systems. In wave physics, disordered potentials suppress wave transport due to their localized eigenstates from random-walk scattering. Although the…
Ultrafast disordering observed after photo-excitation challenges the conventional picture of photo-induced transitions where symmetry-breaking takes place along a single collective coordinate. We propose that key spectroscopic signatures of…
We introduce a one dimensional disordered Ising model which at zero temperature is characterized by a non-trivial, non-self-averaging, overlap probability distribution when the impurity concentration vanishes in the thermodynamic limit. The…
Structural disorder can improve the optical properties of metasurfaces, whether it is emerging from some large-scale fabrication methods, or explicitly designed and built lithographically. Correlated disorder, induced by a minimum…
We consider a particle in one dimension submitted to amplitude and phase disorder. It can be mapped onto the complex Burgers equation, and provides a toy model for problems with interplay of interferences and disorder, such as the NSS model…
In this paper, we review the recent activity of our group on the study of disorder effects on systems displaying phase coherence. These studies have focused on both the electronic transport through mesoscopic metallic spin glasses, and cold…
Critical properties of quantum spin chains with varying degrees of disorder are studied at zero temperature by analytical and extensive density matrix renormalization methods. Generally the phase diagram is found to contain three phases.…
We introduce a new approach to analyse the global structure of electronic states in quasi-1D models in terms of the dynamics of a system of parametric oscillators with time-dependent stochastic couplings. We thus extend to quasi-1D models…
By studying numerically the phase-ordering kinetics of a two-dimensional ferromagnetic Ising model with quenched disorder -- either random bonds or random fields -- we show that a critical percolation structure forms in an early stage and…
The scaling property of level statistics in the quantum Hall regime, i.e. 2D disordered electron systems subject to strong magnetic fields, is analyzed numerically in the light of the random matrix theory. The energy dependences of the…
The disorder averaged single-particle Green's function of electrons subject to a time-dependent random potential with long-range spatial correlations is calculated by means of bosonization in arbitrary dimensions. For static disorder our…

We present a thorough numerical study of the Richardson model with quenched disorder (a fully-connected XX-model with longitudinal random fields). We study the onset of delocalization in typical states (many-body delocalization) and the…
We consider Euclidean Conformal Field Theories perturbed by quenched disorder, namely by random fluctuations in their couplings. Such theories are relevant for second-order phase transitions in the presence of impurities or other forms of…
The single-parameter scaling hypothesis predicts the absence of delocalized states for noninteracting quasiparticles in low-dimensional disordered systems. We show analytically and numerically that extended states may occur in the one- and…
The effect of quenched disorder on the underdamped motion of a periodically driven particle on a ratchet potential is studied. As a consequence of disorder, current reversal and chaotic diffusion may take place on regular trajectories. On…
We observe the emergence of a disorder-induced insulating state in a strongly interacting atomic Fermi gas trapped in an optical lattice. This closed quantum system free of a thermal reservoir realizes the disordered Fermi-Hubbard model,…
Local observables in generic periodically driven closed quantum systems are known to relax to values described by periodic infinite temperature ensembles. At the same time, ergodic static systems exhibit anomalous thermalization of local…
We study the delocalisation transition which takes places in one-dimensional disordered systems when the random potential exhibits specific long-range correlations. We consider the case of weak disorder; using a systematic perturbative…
