A random-matrix theory is presented which shows that breaking time-reversal symmetry by itself does {\em not} suppress the weak-localization correction to the conductance of a disordered metal wire attached to a superconductor. Suppression…
We consider the phase coherent transport of a quasi one-dimensional beam of Bose-Einstein condensed particles through a disordered potential of length L. Among the possible different types of flow identified in [T. Paul et al., Phys. Rev.…
Random scattering of photons in disordered one-dimensional solids gives rise to an exponential suppression of transmission, which is known as Anderson localization. Here, we experimentally study Anderson localization in a superconducting…
We study a disordered nonlinear Schr\"odinger equation with an additional relaxation process having a finite response time $\tau$. Without the relaxation term, $\tau=0$, this model has been widely studied in the past and numerical…
We address the interplay between two fundamentally different wavepacket localization mechanisms, namely resonant dynamic localization due to collapse of quasi-energy bands in periodic media and disorder-induced Anderson localization.…
The interplay of interactions and disorder is studied using the Anderson-Hubbard model within the typical medium dynamical cluster approximation. Treating the interacting, non-local cluster self-energy ($\Sigma_c[{\cal \tilde{G}}](i,j\neq…
We show that the tails of the asymptotic density distribution of a quantum wave packet that localizes in the the presence of random or quasiperiodic disorder can be described by the diagonal term of the projection over the eingenstates of…
We revisit the time-adiabatic theorem of quantum mechanics and show that it can be extended to weakly nonlinear situations, that is to nonlinear Schroedinger equations in which either the nonlinear coupling constant or, equivalently, the…
After Anderson's prediction of disorder-induced insulating behavior, extensive work found no singularities in the density of states of localized systems. However, Johri and Bhatt recently uncovered the existence of a non-analyticity in the…
We study theoretically Anderson localization of two-dimensional massless pseudospin-1 Dirac particles in a random one-dimensional scalar potential. We focus explicitly on the effect of disorder correlations, considering a short-range…
The random-field spin-1/2 XXZ chains, and the corresponding Anderson insulators of spinless fermions with density-density interaction, have been intensively studied in the context of many-body localization. However, we recently argued [B.…
We present a nonperturbative approach which allows to evaluate the weak localization correction to the conductivity of disordered conductors in the presence of interactions. The effect of the electron-electron interaction on the…
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…
Diffusion has been widely used to describe a random walk of particles or waves, and it requires only one parameter -- the diffusion constant. For waves, however, diffusion is an approximation that disregards the possibility of interference.…
Effects of randomness have supplied fundamental problems in condensed matter physics and localization due to interference of quantum mechanical electrons are well studied as the Anderson localization. Although we have well established…
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…
To expand the framework available for interpreting experiments on disordered strongly correlated systems, and in particular to explore further the strong-coupling zero-bias anomaly found in the Anderson-Hubbard model, we ask how this…
We investigate dynamics of a single mobile impurity immersed in a bath of Anderson localized particles and focus on the regime of relatively strong disorder and interactions. In that regime, the dynamics of the system is particularly slow,…
We investigate disorder induced localization in the presence of nonlinearity and curvature. We numerically analyze the time-resolved three-dimensional expansion of a wave-packet in a bended cigar shaped potential with a focusing Kerr-like…
For Anderson localization on the Cayley tree, we study the statistics of various observables as a function of the disorder strength $W$ and the number $N$ of generations. We first consider the Landauer transmission $T_N$. In the localized…
