Complex dielectric media often appear opaque because light traveling through them is scattered multiple times. Although the light scattering is a random process, different paths through the medium can be correlated encoding information…
Anderson localization of wave-functions at zero energy in quasi-1D systems of $N$ disordered chains with inter-chain coupling $t$ is examined. Localization becomes weaker than for the 1D disordered chain ($t=0$) when $t$ is smaller than the…

Potential disorder in 1D leads to Anderson localization of the entire spectrum. Upon sacrificing hermiticity by adding non-reciprocal hopping, the non-Hermitian skin effect competes with localization. We find another route for…

Phonon localization is a phenomenon that influences numerous material properties in condensed matter physics. Anderson localization brings rise to localized atomic-scale phonon interferences in disordered lattices with an influence limited…
We provide evidence that as a general rule Anderson localization effects become weaker as the degree of differentiability of the disordered potential increases. In one dimension a band of metallic states exists provided that the disordered…
We discuss a model of random segmented wire, with linear segments of 2D wires joined by circular bends. The joining vertices act as scatterers on the propagating electron waves. The model leads to resonant Anderson localization when all…
We study the Anderson localization in systems, in which transport channels with rather different properties are coupled together. This problem arises naturally in systems of hybrid particles, such as exciton-polaritons, where it is not…

One of the most intriguing phenomena in physics is the localization of waves in disordered media. This phenomenon was originally predicted by Anderson, fifty years ago, in the context of transport of electrons in crystals. Anderson…
