In analogy with usual Anderson localization taking place in time-independent disordered quantum systems where the disorder acts in configuration space, systems exposed to temporally disordered potentials can display Anderson localization in…

Classical particles in random potentials typically experience a percolation phase transition, being trapped in clusters of mean size $\chi$ that diverges algebraically at a percolation threshold. In contrast, quantum transport in random…

We extend the static theory of disorder-induced exponential decay of the averaged Green function of a quantum charged particle in a classical one-component plasma to the dynamic regime by incorporating the temporal evolution of the ionic…

Consider the 3D Anderson model with a zero mean and bounded i.i.d. random potential. Let $\lambda$ be the coupling constant measuring the strength of the disorder, and $\sigma(E)$ the self energy of the model at energy $E$. For any…

The location of the mobility edge is a long standing problem in Anderson localization. In this paper, we show that the effective confining potential introduced in the localization landscape (LL) theory predicts the onset of delocalization…

We predict the quantum correlations between non-interacting particles evolving simultaneously in a disordered medium. While the particle density follows the single-particle dynamics and exhibits Anderson localization, the two-particle…

Diffusion has been widely used to describe a random walk of particles or waves, and it requires only one parameter -- the diffusion constant. For waves, however, diffusion is an approximation that disregards the possibility of interference.…

We study the effect of Anderson localization on a Bose-Einstein condesate in 3d in a disordered potential by Feynman-Kac path integral technique. Simulations are performed in continuous space using canonical ensemble. Owing to the high…

A short quasi-monochromatic wave packet incident on a semi-infinite disordered medium gives rise to a reflected wave. The intensity of the latter decays as a power law $1/t^{\alpha}$ in the long-time limit. Using the one-dimensional…

The properties of the entanglement entropy (EE) in one-dimensional disordered interacting systems are studied. Anderson localization leaves a clear signature on the average EE, as it saturates on length scale exceeding the localization…

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…

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…

We consider large time behavior of typical paths under the Anderson polymer measure. If $P$ is the measure induced by rate $\kappa,$ simple, symmetric random walk on $Z^d$ started at $x,$ this measure is defined as $$ d\mu(X)={Z^{-1}…

We rigorously analyse the correspondence between the one-dimensional standard Anderson model and a related classical system, the `kicked oscillator' with noisy frequency. We show that the Anderson localization corresponds to a parametric…
