Domain specific localization of eigenstates has been a persistent observation for systems with local symmetries. The underlying mechanism for this localization behaviour has however remained elusive. We provide here an analysis of locally…
The impact of local reflection symmetry on wave localization and transport within finite disordered chains is investigated. Local symmetries thereby play the role of a spatial correlation of variable range in the finite system. We find…

We investigate two one-dimensional tight-binding models with disorder that have extended states at zero energy. We use exact and partial diagonalisation of the Hamiltonian to obtain the eigenmodes and the associated participation ratios,…
A simple tight-binding model is used to illustrate how the time dependence of a state vector can be obtained from all the eigenvalues and eigenvectors of the Hamiltonian. The behavior of the eigenvalues and eigenvectors is studied for…
It is shown that an alternative approach for the characterization of growing branched patterns consists of the statistical analysis of frozen structures, which cannot be modified by further growth, that arise due to competitive processes…
We show that a one-dimensional chain of trapped ions can be engineered to produce a quantum mechanical system with discrete scale invariance and fractal-like time dependence. By discrete scale invariance we mean a system that replicates…
