In the diffusive transport of waves in three dimensional media, there should be a phase transition with increasing disorder to a state where no transport occurs. This transition was first discussed by Anderson in 1958 in the context of the…

The problem of a random walk in a disordered media is mapped into a model of a random walk with memory. The latter model, as opposed to the former one, does not make reference to a particular realization of the disorder. The equivalence of…

We show, using quasi-exact numerical simulations, that Anderson localization of one-dimensional particles in a disordered potential survives in the presence of attractive interaction between particles. The localization length of 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…
