We study the hopping transport of a quantum particle through randomly diluted percolation clusters in two dimensions realized both on the square and triangular lattices. We investigate the nature of localization of the particle by…
A two-dimensional electron gas in a high magnetic field displays macroscopically degenerate Landau levels, which can be split into Hofstadter subbands by means of a weak periodic potential. By carefully engineering such a potential, one can…

Anderson localization is a universal phenomenon affecting non-interacting quantum particles in disorder. In three spatial dimensions it becomes particularly interesting to study because of the presence of a quantum phase transition from…
Highly excited Rydberg atoms inherit their level structure, symmetries, and scaling behavior from the hydrogen atom. We demonstrate that these fundamental properties enable a thermodynamic limit of a single Rydberg atom subjected to…
Real materials always contain, to some extent, randomness in the form of defects or irregularities. It is known since the seminal work of Anderson that randomness can drive a metallic phase to an insulating one, and the mechanism…
We present a scattering theory of transport through noncollinear disordered magnetic insulators. For concreteness, we study and compare the random field model (RFM) and the random anisotropy model (RAM). The RFM and RAM are used to model…
Localization properties of particles in one-dimensional incommensurate lattices without interaction are investigated with models beyond the tight-binding Aubry-Andr\'e (AA) model. Based on a tight-binding t_1 - t_2 model with finite…
We investigate the behavior near zero of the integrated density of states $\ell$ for random Schr\"{o}dinger operators $\Phi(-\Delta) + V^{\omega}$ in $L^2(\mathbb R^d)$, $d \geq 1$, where $\Phi$ is a complete Bernstein function such that…
Quenched disorders can strongly influence the physical properties of quantum many-body systems. The real-space strong-disorder renormalization group (SDRG) analysis has shown that the spin-1/2 random Heisenberg chain is controlled by the…
