We report on the transition between an Anderson localized regime and a conductive regime in a 1D scattering system with correlated disorder. We show experimentally that when long-range correlations, in the form of a power-law spectral…
Anderson localization is a multiple-scattering phenomenon of linear waves propagating within a disordered medium. Discovered in the late 50s for electrons, it has since been observed experimentally with cold atoms and with classical waves…
Anderson localization was discovered 50 years ago to describe the propagation of electrons in the presence of disorder. The main prediction back then, was the existence of disorder induced localized states, which do not conduct electricity.…
Anderson localization of light is traditionally described in analogy to electrons in a random potential. Within this description the disorder strength -- and hence the localization characteristics -- depends strongly on the wavelength of…
Transport of coherent waves in multiple-scattering media may exhibit fundamental, non intuitive phenomena such as halt of diffusion by disorder called Anderson localization. For electromagnetic waves, this phenomenon was observed only in…

Anderson localization (AL) is a ubiquitous interference phenomenon in which waves fail to propagate in a disordered medium. We observe three-dimensional AL of noninteracting ultracold matter by allowing a spin-polarized atomic Fermi gas to…
Anderson localization has been observed for a variety of media, including ultracold atomic gases with speckle disorder in one and three dimensions. However, observation of Anderson localization in a two-dimensional geometry for ultracold…

Common belief, confirmed by existing experiments, is that arbitrarily weak disorder should lead to spatial localization of eigenmodes of scalar wave equations when wave propagation is two-dimensional (2D). We predict that contrary to this…
We predict the quantum correlations between non-interacting particles evolving simultaneously in a disordered medium. While the particle density follows the single-particle dynamics and exhibits Anderson localization, the two-particle…
A short quasi-monochromatic wave packet incident on a semi-infinite disordered medium gives rise to a reflected wave. The intensity of the latter decays as a power law $1/t^{\alpha}$ in the long-time limit. Using the one-dimensional…
Motivated by experimental progress in cold atomic systems, we use and advance Localisation Landscape Theory (LLT), to examine two-dimensional systems with point-like random scatterers. We begin by showing that exact eigenstates cannot be…
We study the properties of the spinor wavefunction in a strongly disordered environment on a two-dimensional lattice. By employing a transfer-matrix calculation we find that there is a transition from delocalized to localized states at a…
