We study quantum percolation which is described by a tight-binding Hamiltonian containing only off-diagonal hopping terms that are generally in quenched binary disorder (zero or one). In such a system, transmission of a quantum particle is…
We present the first rigorous result on Anderson localization for interacting systems of quantum particles subject to a deterministic (e.g., almost periodic) disordered external potential. For a particular class of deterministic, fermionic,…
Using the supersymmetry technique, we study the localization-delocalization transition in quasi-one-dimensional non-Hermitian systems with a direction. In contrast to chains, our model captures the diffusive character of carriers' motion at…
Multiparticle entanglement leads to richer correlations than two-particle entanglement and gives rise to striking contradictions with local realism, inequivalent classes of entanglement, and applications such as one-way or topological…
In one dimension, any disorder is traditionally believed to localize all states. We show that this paradigm breaks down under hyperuniform disorder, which suppresses long-wavelength fluctuations and interpolates between random and periodic…
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…
Electron transport through disordered quasi one-dimensional quantum systems is studied. Decoherence is taken into account by a spatial distribution of virtual reservoirs, which represent local interactions of the conduction electrons with…
A quantum system of particles can exist in a localized phase, exhibiting ergodicity breaking and maintaining forever a local memory of its initial conditions. We generalize this concept to a system of extended objects, such as strings and…
Lessons from Anderson localization highlight the importance of dimensionality of real space for localization due to disorder. More recently, studies of many-body localization have focussed on the phenomenon in one dimension using techniques…
We study, theoretically and numerically, a minimal model for phonons in a disordered system. For sufficient disorder, the vibrational modes of this classical system can become Anderson localized, yet this problem has received significantly…
We investigate the disorder-driven phase transition from a fractional quantum Hall state to an Anderson insulator using quantum entanglement methods. We find that the transition is signaled by a sharp increase in the sensitivity of a…
The phase diagram of localization is numerically calculated for a three-dimensional disordered system in the presence of a magnetic field using the Peierls substitution. The mobility edge trajectory shifts in the energy-disorder space when…
We study the time evolution of one-dimensional systems of fermions with long-range interactions in the presence of strong disorder. Exact diagonalization of small systems supports many-body localization for weak Coulomb and dipolar…
Many-body localization (MBL) in a one-dimensional Fermi Hubbard model with random on-site interactions is studied. While for this model all single-particle states are trivially delocalized, it is shown that for sufficiently strong…
Quantum transport through disordered structures is inhibited by (Anderson) localization effects. The disorder can be either topological as in random networks or energetical as in the original Anderson model. In both cases the eigenstates of…
Due to the phase interference of electromagnetic wave, one can recover the total image of one object from a small piece of holograph, which records the interference pattern of two laser light reflected from it. Similarly, the quantum…
Strong local disorder in interacting quantum spin chains can turn delocalized eigenmodes into localized eigenstates, giving rise to many-body localized (MBL) phases. This is accompanied by distinct spectral statistics: chaotic for the…
