For a Hamiltonian ${\hat H}$ containing a position-dependent (disordered) potential, we introduce a sequence of landscape functions $u_n(\vec{r})$ obeying ${\hat H} u_n(\vec{r}) = u_{n-1}(\vec{r})$ with $u_0(\vec{r}) = 1$. For $n \to…
Anderson localization is a universal interference phenomenon occurring when a wave evolves through a random medium and it has been observed in a great variety of physical systems, either quantum or classical. The recently developed…
The localization subregions of stationary waves in continuous disordered media have been recently demonstrated to be governed by a hidden landscape that is the solution of a Dirichlet problem expressed with the wave operator. In this…
The localization landscape gives direct access to the localization of bottom-of-band eigenstates in non-interacting disordered systems. We generalize this approach to eigenstates at arbitrary energies in systems with or without internal…
Anderson localization is a famous wave phenomenon that describes the absence of diffusion of waves in a disordered medium. Here we generalize the landscape theory of Anderson localization to general elliptic operators and complex boundary…
Wave localization occurs in all types of vibrating systems, in acoustics, mechanics, optics, or quantum physics. It arises either in systems of irregular geometry (weak localization) or in disordered systems (Anderson localization). We…
Anderson localization predicts that wave spreading in disordered lattices can come to a complete halt, providing a universal mechanism for {dynamical localization}. In the one-dimensional Hermitian Anderson model with uncorrelated diagonal…
Anderson localization is studied for two-dimensional Dirac fermions in the presence of strong random scattering. Averaging with respect to the latter leads to a graphical representation of the correlation function with entangled random…
We construct the generic phase diagrams encoding the topologically distinct localized and delocalized phases of noninteracting fermionic quasiparticles for any symmetry class from the tenfold way in one, two, and three dimensions. To this…
It is by now well established that Dirac fermions coupled to non-Abelian gauge theories can undergo an Anderson-type localization transition. This transition affects eigenmodes in the lowest part of the Dirac spectrum, the ones most…

The $L^2$ localisation landscape of L. Herviou and J. H. Bardarson is a generalisation of the localisation landscape of M. Filoche and S. Mayboroda. We propose a stochastic method to compute the $L^2$ localisation landscape that enables the…
We consider the discrete Schr\"odinger operator $H=-\Delta+V$ on a cube $M\subset \mathbb{Z}^d$, with periodic or Dirichlet (simple) boundary conditions. We use a hidden landscape function $u$, defined as the solution of an inhomogeneous…
Based on the statistical dynamical mean field theory, we investigate, in a generic model for a strongly coupled disordered electron-phonon system, the competition between polaron formation and Anderson localization. The statistical…
We discuss explicit landscape functions for quantum graphs. By a "landscape function" $\Upsilon(x)$ we mean a function that controls the localization properties of normalized eigenfunctions $\psi(x)$ through a pointwise inequality of the…
Anderson localization is ubiquitous in wavy systems with strong static and uncorrelated disorder. The delicate destructive interference underlying Anderson localization is usually washed out in the presence of temporal fluctuations or…
In the framework of non-Hermitian photonics, we investigate the interplay between disorder and non-Hermiticity in a one-dimensional Hatano-Nelson lattice. While Anderson localization dictates the wave's evolution in conservative random…
Eigenfunctions in inhomogeneous media can have strong localization properties. Filoche \& Mayboroda showed that the function $u$ solving $(-\Delta + V)u = 1$ controls the behavior of eigenfunctions $(-\Delta + V)\phi = \lambda\phi$ via the…
The wave function of a non-relativistic particle in a periodic potential admits oscillatory solutions, the Bloch waves. In the presence of a random noise contribution to the potential the wave function is localized. We outline a new proof…
