In an isolated single-particle quantum system a spatial disorder can induce Anderson localization. Being a result of interference, this phenomenon is expected to be fragile in the face of dissipation. Here we show that dissipation can drive…
We study the coherent dynamics of a Holstein polaron in strong electric fields. A detailed analytical and numerical analysis shows that even for small hopping constant and weak electron-phonon interaction, polaron states can become…
We investigate dynamical many-body localization and delocalization in an integrable system of periodically-kicked, interacting linear rotors. The Hamiltonian we investigate is linear in momentum, and its Floquet evolution operator is…
Quantum localization within an energy-shell of a closed quantum system stands in contrast to the ergodic assumption of Boltzmann, and to the corresponding eigenstate thermalization hypothesis. The familiar case is the real-space "Anderson…
Stochastic (Anderson) localization is the spatial localization of the wave-function of quantum particles in random media. We show, that a corresponding phenomenon can stabilize spatial solitons in optical resonators: spatial solitons in…

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…
Motivated by the observation of localized circular excitations (`oscillons') in vertically vibrated granular layers (P.B. Umbanhowar, F. Melo and H.L. Swinney, Nature 382 (1996) 793), we numerically investigate an extension of a…
We present a mapping between the Edwards model of disorder describing the motion of a single particle subject to randomly-positioned static scatterers and the Bose polaron problem of a light quantum impurity interacting with a Bose-Einstein…
We derive the path integral of the semiclassical, one dimensional anharmonic Holstein model assuming that the electron motion takes place in a bath of non linear oscillators with quartic on site hard (and soft) potentials. The interplay…
In pattern-forming systems, localized patterns are states of intermediate complexity between fully extended ordered patterns and completely irregular patterns. They are formed by stationary fronts enclosing an ordered pattern inside an…
In this paper the polaron problem for the Holstein model is studied in the weak coupling limit. We use second order perturbation theory to construct renormalized electron and phonons. Eigenstates of the Hamiltonian are labelled and the…
We present selected results for the Holstein molecular crystal model in one space dimension as determined by the Global-Local variational method, including complete polaron energy bands, ground state energies, and effective masses. We…

Dynamics of two particles with short range repulsive or attractive interaction is studied numerically in the Harper model. It is shown that interaction leads to appearance of localized states and pure-point spectrum component in the case…
