Anderson localization was discovered 50 years ago to describe the propagation of electrons in the presence of disorder. The main prediction back then, was the existence of disorder induced localized states, which do not conduct electricity.…
Localized states in one-dimensional open disordered systems and their connection to the internal structure of random samples have been studied. It is shown that the localization of energy and anomalously high transmission associated with…
Anderson localization (AL) is a ubiquitous interference phenomenon in which waves fail to propagate in a disordered medium. We observe three-dimensional AL of noninteracting ultracold matter by allowing a spin-polarized atomic Fermi gas to…

The Lyapunov exponent spectrum and covariant Lyapunov vectors are studied for a quasi-one-dimensional system of hard disks as a function of density and system size. We characterize the system using the angle distributions between covariant…
We show that the recently developed self-consistent theory of Anderson localization with a position-dependent diffusion coefficient is in quantitative agreement with the supersymmetry approach up to terms of the order of $1/g_0^2$ (with…
We report a first-principles study of static transport of localized waves in quasi-one-dimensional open media. We found that such transport, dominated by disorder-induced resonant transmissions, displays novel diffusive behavior. Our…
Hyperuniform structures are spatial patterns whose fluctuations disappear on long length scales, making them effectively homogeneous when observed from afar. Mathematically, this means that their spectral density, $\tilde{\rho}({\bf k})$,…

The presence of disorder can severely impede wave transport, resulting in the famous Anderson localization. Previous theoretical studies found that Anderson transition can exist in one-dimensional (1D) non-Hermitian disordered rings with…
Anderson localization of electron states on graphene lattice with diagonal and off-diagonal (OD) disorder in the absence of magnetic field is investigated by using the standard finite-size scaling analysis. In the presence of diagonal…
