Single particle localization of an ultra-cold atom is studied in one dimension when the atom is confined by an optical lattice and by the incommensurate potential of a high-finesse optical cavity. In the strong coupling regime the atom is a…

Sub-dimensional localization, also known as directional localization, arises when 2d electrons are subject to a periodic potential and incommensurate magnetic field which cause them to become exponentially localized along one crystal axis,…

A weak-localization effect has been studied in macroscopically inhomogeneous 2D system. It is shown, that although the real phase breaking length tends to infinity when the temperature tends to zero, such a system can reveal a saturated…

I discuss whether localization in the two dimensional continuum can be stable in the presence of short range interactions. I conclude that, for an impurity model of disorder, if the system is prepared below a critical temperature $T < T_c$,…
