Solutions of the wave equations for time-independent disordered media can exhibit Anderson localization where instead of wave propagation we observe their localization around different points in space. Photonic time crystals are spatially…

We study Anderson transition for light in three dimensions by performing large-scale ab-initio simulations of electromagnetic wave transport in disordered ensembles of conducting spheres. A mobility edge that separates diffusive transport…

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…

The goal of this paper is to discuss the link between the quantum phenomenon of Anderson localization on the one hand, and the parametric instability of classical linear oscillators with stochastic frequency on the other. We show that these…

The two-dimensional hyperbolic plane, $\mathbb{H}^2$, is an unusual system in that dimensionality changes with scale: locally two-dimensional and planar at short distances, but effectively infinite-dimensional at large scales, it provides…

We study the dynamics of a monitored single particle in a one-dimensional, Anderson-localized system. The time evolution is governed by Hamiltonian dynamics for fixed time intervals, interrupted by local, projective measurements. The…

A particle in an Anderson-localized system, if launched in any direction, should on average return to its starting point and stay there. Despite the central role played by Anderson localization in the modern understanding of condensed…
