We explore the interplay of disorder and topological phenomena in honeycomb lattices of atoms coupled by the electromagnetic field. On the one hand, disorder can trigger transitions between distinct topological phases and drive the lattice…
Anderson localization of classical waves in disordered media is a fundamental physical phenomenon that has attracted attention in the past three decades. More recently, localization of polar excitations in nanostructured metal-dielectric…
The self-assembly of molecules at surfaces can be caused by a range of physical mechanisms. Assembly can be driven by intermolecular forces, or molecule-surface forces, or both; it can result in structures that are in equilibrium or that…
We consider the dynamics of rotational excitations placed on a single molecule in spatially disordered 1D, 2D and 3D ensembles of ultracold molecules trapped in optical lattices. The disorder arises from incomplete populations of optical…
In a molecule formed by two atoms, energy difference between bonding and antibonding orbitals should depend on distance of the two atoms. However, exploring molecular orbitals of two natural atoms with tunable distance has remained an…
We explore the possibility of forming a oriented polar molecule directly from a pair of colliding atoms. The process comprises the photoassociation and vibrational stabilization along with the molecular orientation. These processes are…
Whether the Anderson localization can survive from the weak enough nonlinear interaction is still an open question. In this Letter, we study the effect of nonlinear interaction on disordered chain based on the wave turbulence theory. It is…
We present a new mechanism for generating exponential hierarchies in four-dimensional field theories inspired by Anderson localization in one dimension, exploiting an analogy between the localization of electron energy eigenstates along a…
In two dimensional disordered lattices, presence of interaction makes particles less localized than the non-interacting ones within the range of disorder strength $W \le 4$ and interaction strength $V \le 4$. If the interaction strength is…
The behavior of an atomic system is influenced by introducing a metallic surface. This work explores how the decay landscape can be altered by the presence of sharp corners. We examine two scenarios: the modified spontaneous decay of a…
Localization of wavefunctions is arguably the most familiar effect of disorder in quantum systems. It has been recently argued [[V. Khemani, R. Nandkishore, and S. L. Sondhi, Nature Physics, 11, 560 (2015)] that, contrary to naive…
Closed shell molecular structures are under normal conditions time-reversal invariant. Experimental evidences point, however, towards that this invariance may be locally violated when the structure is in contact with a particle reservoir.…
We investigate, both experimentally and theoretically, possible routes towards Anderson-like localization of Bose-Einstein condensates in disordered potentials. The dependence of this quantum interference effect on the nonlinear…
We investigate the self-organization of strongly interacting particles confined in 1D and 2D. We consider hardcore bosons in spinless Hubbard lattice models with short-range interactions. We show that many-body states with topological…
We show that nuclear motion of Rydberg atoms can be induced by resonant dipole-dipole interactions that trigger the energy transfer between two energetically close Rydberg states. How and if the atoms move depends on their initial…
One of the most intriguing phenomena in physics is the localization of waves in disordered media. This phenomenon was originally predicted by Anderson, fifty years ago, in the context of transport of electrons in crystals. Anderson…
We analyze the entanglement generated in a finite time between a pair of space-like separated atoms, one of which emits a photon. As we show to order $e^2$, the origin of entanglement can be traced back to the uncertainty about which one of…
We show a mechanism that projects a pair of neutral two-level atoms from an initially uncorrelated state to a maximally entangled state while they remain spacelike separated. The atoms begin both excited in a common electromagnetic vacuum,…
We study how the entanglement between two atoms can be created or modified even when they do not interact but when each of them interacts dispersively, i.e., weak and far from the resonance with a single mode of the field. Considering that…
Anderson localization transitions are a universal quantum phenomenon sensitive to the disorder and dimensionality of electronic systems. Over the past decades, this intriguing topic has inspired overwhelmingly more theoretical studies than…
