Glassy systems are disordered systems characterized by extremely slow dynamics. Examples are supercooled liquids, whose dynamics slow down under cooling. The specific pattern of slowing-down depends on the material considered. This…
It is experimentally shown that, depending on the carrier-concentration of the system $n$, the dynamics of electron-glasses either \textit{slows down }with increasing temperature or it is \textit{independent} of it. This also correlates…
Although most quantum systems thermalize locally on short time scales independent of initial conditions, recent developments have shown this is not always the case. Lattice geometry and quantum mechanics can conspire to produce constrained…
Disorder in quantum systems can lead to the disruption of long-range order in the ground state and to the localization of the elementary excitations - famous examples thereof being the Bose glass of interacting bosons in a disordered or…
