We prove a quantum-ergodicity theorem on large graphs, for eigenfunctions of Schr\"odinger operators in a very general setting. We consider a sequence of finite graphs endowed with discrete Schr\"odinger operators, assumed to have a local…

We study a random Schroedinger operator, the Laplacian with N independently uniformly distributed random delta potentials on flat tori T^d_L = R^d/LZ^d, d = 2, 3, where L > 0 is large. We determine a condition in terms of the size of the…

We prove quantum ergodicity for a family of periodic Schr\"odinger operators $H$ on periodic graphs. This means that most eigenfunctions of $H$ on large finite periodic graphs are equidistributed in some sense, hence delocalized. Our…
