The existence of Anderson localization, characterized by vanishing diffusion due to strong disorder, has been demonstrated in numerous ways. A systematic approach based on the Anderson quantum model of the Fermi gas in random lattices that…
A new type of perturbation expansion in the mixing $V$ of localized orbitals with a conduction-electron band in the $U\to\infty$ Anderson model is presented. It is built on Feynman diagrams obeying standard rules. The local correlations of…
We demonstrate that by considering disordered single-particle Hamiltonians (or their random matrix versions) on ultrametric spaces one can generate an interesting class of models exhibiting Anderson metal-insulator transition. We use the…
Disordered systems are very rich laboratories for exploring complex systems. In particular, disordered magnetic systems have been extremely important in the last five decades for understanding a wide range of phenomena. In this work, we use…
A short quasi-monochromatic wave packet incident on a semi-infinite disordered medium gives rise to a reflected wave. The intensity of the latter decays as a power law $1/t^{\alpha}$ in the long-time limit. Using the one-dimensional…
The level statistics in the two dimensional disordered electron systems in magnetic fields (unitary ensemble) or in the presence of strong spin-orbit scattering (symplectic ensemble) are investigated at the Anderson transition points. The…
Several new aspects of the subtle interplay between electronic correlations and disorder are reviewed. First, the dynamical mean-field theory (DMFT)together with the geometrically averaged ("typical") local density of states is employed to…
This work justifies the linear response formula for the Hall conductance of a two-dimensional disordered system. The proof rests on controlling the dynamics associated with a random time-dependent Hamiltonian. The principal challenge is…
We present the first rigorous result on Anderson localization for interacting systems of quantum particles subject to a deterministic (e.g., almost periodic) disordered external potential. For a particular class of deterministic, fermionic,…
For short-ranged disordered quantum models in one dimension, the Many-Body-Localization is analyzed via the adaptation to the Many-Body context [M. Serbyn, Z. Papic and D.A. Abanin, PRX 5, 041047 (2015)] of the Thouless point of view on the…
Stability against perturbation is a highly nontrivial property of quantum systems and is often a requirement to define new phases. In most systems where stability can be rigorously established, only static perturbations are considered;…
We present a simple and efficient method to incorporate anharmonic effects in the vibrational \textcolor{black}{analyses} of molecules within density functional theory (DFT) calculations. This approach is closely related to the traditional…
A semiclassical theory of small oscillations is developed for nuclei that are subject to velocity-dependent forces in addition to the usual interatomic forces. When the velocity-dependent forces are due to a strong magnetic field, novel…
The statistics of energy levels for a disordered conductor are considered in the critical energy window near the mobility edge. It is shown that, if critical wave functions are multifractal, the one-dimensional gas of levels on the energy…
We elaborate on the principle that for gapped quantum spin systems with local interaction "local perturbations [in the Hamiltonian] perturb locally [the ground state]". This principle was established in [Bachmann et al. 2012], relying on…
Anderson localization1 in a random system is sensitive to a distance dependence of the excitation transfer amplitude V(r). If V(r) decreases with the distance r slower than 1/r^d in a d-dimensional system then all excitations are…
We study the problem of an electron in two dimensions in the presence of a magnetic vortex with a step-like profile. Dependending on the values of the effective mass and gyromagnetic factor of the electron, it may be trapped by the vortex.…

We analyze the response of a complex quantum-mechanical system (e. g., a quantum dot) to a time-dependent perturbation. Assuming the dot energy spectrum and the perturbation to be described by the Gaussian Orthogonal Ensemble of random…
