Subsequent to the ideas presented in our previous papers [J.Phys.: Condens. Matter {\bf 14} (2002) 13777 and Eur. Phys. J. B {\bf 42} (2004) 529], we discuss here in detail a new analytical approach to calculating the phase-diagram for the…

Anderson localization, i.e., destructive quantum interference of multiple-scattering paths, halts transport entirely. Contrarily, time-dependent random forces expedite transport via Fermi acceleration, proposed as a mechanism for…

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…

Anderson localization is a quantum phenomenon in which disorder localizes electronic wavefunctions. In this work, we propose a new approach to study Anderson localization based on the density matrix formalism. Drawing an analogy to the…

Strong localization of light in three-dimensional disordered dielectric systems remains challenging to establish because it requires extremely strong recurrent scattering, while the long-lived localized contribution can be weak and masked…

Anderson localization of light is a fundamental emergent phenomenon in disordered systems. In arrays of coupled waveguides, it suppresses transport and causes photons to remain localized near the excitation site as coupling disorder…

We study several lattice random walk models with stochastic resetting to previously visited sites which exhibit a phase transition between an anomalous diffusive regime and a localization regime where diffusion is suppressed. The localized…

In models of hopping disorder in the absence of external fields and at the band center, the electrons are less localized in space than the standard exponential Anderson localization. A signature of this anomalous localization is the square…

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…

Anderson localization marks a halt of diffusive wave propagation in disordered systems. Despite extensive studies over the past 40 years, Anderson localization of light in three dimensions has remained elusive, leading to the question of…

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…
