We argue that chaotic power-law interacting systems have emergent limits on information propagation, analogous to relativistic light cones, which depend on the spatial dimension $d$ and the exponent $\alpha$ governing the decay of…
The propagation of an interacting particle pair in a disordered chain is characterized by a set of localization lengths which we define. The localization lengths are computed by a new decimation algorithm and provide a more comprehensive…

Like a free particle, the initial growth of a broad (relative to lattice spacing) wavepacket placed on an ordered lattice is slow (zero initial slope) and becomes linear in $t$ at long time. On a disordered lattice, the growth is inhibited…
We examine the onset of Anderson localization in three-dimensional systems with structural disorder in the form of lattice irregularities and in the absence of any on-site disordered potential. Analyzing two models with distinct types of…
