Anderson localization of matter waves was recently observed with cold atoms in a weak 1D disorder realized with laser speckle potential [J. Billy et al., Nature 453, 891 (2008)]. The latter is special in that it does not have spatial…

Disorder plays a crucial role in many systems particularly in solid state physics. However, the disorder in a particular system can usually not be chosen or controlled. We show that the unique control available for ultracold atomic gases…
At low temperature, a quasi-one-dimensional ensemble of atoms with attractive interaction forms a bright soliton. When exposed to a weak and smooth external potential, the shape of the soliton is hardly modified, but its center-of-mass…
Optical lattices are typically created via the ac-Stark shift, which are limited by diffraction to periodicities $\ge\lambda/2$, where $\lambda$ is the wavelength of light used to create them. Lattices with smaller periodicities may be…

We propose a novel realization of Anderson localization in non-equilibrium states of ultracold atoms trapped in state-dependent optical lattices. The disorder potential leading to localization is generated with a Rabi pulse transfering a…

In sufficiently strong scattering media, light transport is suppressed and modes are exponentially localized. Anderson-like localized states have long been recognized as potential candidate for high-Q optical modes for low-threshold, cost…
The spatial extension and complexity of the eigenfunctions of an open finite-size two-dimensional (2D) random system are systematically studied for a random collection of systems ranging from weakly scattering to localized. The…
Random scattering of photons in disordered one-dimensional solids gives rise to an exponential suppression of transmission, which is known as Anderson localization. Here, we experimentally study Anderson localization in a superconducting…
Anderson localization is related to exponential localization of a particle in the configuration space in the presence of a disorder potential. Anderson localization can be also observed in the momentum space and corresponds to quantum…
