Anomalous metals are observed in numerous experiments on disordered two-dimensional systems proximate to superconductivity. A characteristic feature of an anomalous metal is that its low temperature conductivity has a weakly temperature…
While the Hubbard model is the standard model to study Mott metal-insulator transitions, it is still unclear to which extent it can describe metal-insulator transitions in real solids, where non-local Coulomb interactions are always…

We characterize the current-carrying nonequilibrium steady-state in a single-band Hubbard model confronted with a static electric field in the presence of quenched disorder. As disorder is not expected to dissipate the extra energy injected…
Disorder or quasi-disorder is known to favor the localization in many-body Bose systems. Here in contrast, we demonstrate an anomalous delocalization effect induced by incommensurability in quasiperiodic lattices. Loading ultracold atoms in…
