Motivated by the compound ${\rm LiHo}_x{\rm Y}_{1-x}{\rm F}_4$, we consider the Ising chain with random couplings and in the presence of simultaneous random transverse and longitudinal fields, and study its low-energy properties at zero…
The behavior of coupled disordered one-dimensional systems, as modelled by identical fermionic Hubbard chains with the on-site potential disorder and coupling emerging through the inter-chain hopping $t'$, is analysed. The study is…
We study the interplay of Anderson localization and interaction in a two chain Hubbard ladder allowing for arbitrary ratio of disorder strength to interchain coupling. We obtain three different types of spin gapped localized phases…
One of the most important issues in disordered systems is the interplay of the disorder and repulsive interactions. Several recent experimental advances on this topic have been made with ultracold atoms, in particular the observation of…
We introduce a model of percolation induced by disorder, where an initially homogeneous network with links of equal weight is disordered by the introduction of heterogeneous weights for the links. We consider a pair of nodes i and j to be…

Using the lumped circuit equations, we derive a stability criterion for superconducting pinned states in two-dimensional arrays of Josephson junctions. The analysis neglects quantum, thermal, and inductive effects, but allows disordered…
We model the effect of phase-breaking collisions on the coherent electron transport in a disordered one-dimensional single-channel wire. In our model the phase-breaking collisions break the wire into segments, where each segment is an…
