This chapter describes the progress made during the past three decades in the finite size scaling analysis of the critical phenomena of the Anderson transition. The scaling theory of localisation and the Anderson model of localisation are…
Wave propagation in disordered media can be strongly modified by multiple scattering and wave interference. Ultimately the so-called Anderson-localized regime is reached when the waves become strongly confined in space. So far, Anderson…
We study the Anderson-type localisation-delocalisation transition found previously in the QCD Dirac spectrum at high temperature. Using high statistics QCD simulations with $N_f=2+1$ flavours of staggered quarks, we discuss how the change…
We observe a singularity in the electronic properties of the Anderson Model of Localization with bounded diagonal disorder, which is clearly distinct from the well-established mobility edge (localization-delocalization transition) that…
The realization that electron localization in disordered systems (Anderson localization) is ultimately a wave phenomenon has led to the suggestion that photons could be similarly localized by disorder. This conjecture attracted wide…
Using the phenomenological expression for the level spacing distribution with only one parameter, $0 \leq \beta \leq \infty$, covering all regimes of chaos and complexity in a quantum system, we show that transport properties of the…
Disorder can fundamentally modify the transport properties of a system. A striking example is Anderson localization, suppressing transport due to destructive interference of propagation paths. In inhomogeneous many-body systems, not all…
We realize experimentally a cold atom system equivalent to the 3D Anderson model of disordered solids where the anisotropy can be controlled by adjusting an experimentally accessible parameter. This allows us to study experimentally the…
The three-dimensional Anderson model is a well-studied model of disordered electron systems that shows the delocalization--localization transition. As in our previous papers on two- and three-dimensional (2D, 3D) quantum phase transitions…
We develop a self-consistent theoretical approach to the dynamics of Anderson localization in open three-dimensional (3D) disordered media. The approach allows us to study time-dependent transmission and reflection, and the distribution of…
We experimentally investigate the evolution of linear and nonlinear waves in a realization of the Anderson model using disordered one dimensional waveguide lattices. Two types of localized eigenmodes, flat-phased and staggered, are directly…
Scattering of light by a random stack of dielectric layers represents a one-dimensional scattering problem, where the scattered field is a three-dimensional vector field. We investigate the dependence of the scattering properties (band gaps…
The aim of this paper is to demonstrate, by simple numerical simulations, the main transport properties of disordered electron systems.
We analyze the conductance distribution function in the one-dimensional Anderson model of localization, for arbitrary energy. For energy at the band center the distribution function deviates from the universal form assumed in…
Results of large-scale numerical simulations are reported on the Anderson localization in a two-dimensional square lattice tight-binding model with random flux. Localization lengths, fluctuations of the conductance, and the density of…
A one-dimensional boundary of a two-dimensional topological superconductor can host a number of topologically protected chiral modes. Combining two topological superconductors with different topological indices, it is possible to achieve a…
We construct a quasiperiodic lattice model in curved spacetime to explore the crossover concerning both condensed matter and curved spacetime physics. We study the related Anderson localization and find that the model has a clear boundary…
The phenomenon of electronic wave localization through disorder was introduced by Anderson in 1958 in the context of electron transport in solids. It remains an important area of fundamental and applied research. Localization of all wave…
The paper deals with the nonequilibrium two-lead Anderson model, considered as an adequate description for transport through a d-c biased quantum dot. Using a self-consistent equation-of-motion method generalized out of equilibrium, we…
