We calculate the low-energy tunneling density of states $\nu(\epsilon, T)$ of an $N$-channel disordered wire, taking into account the electron-electron interaction non-perturbatively. The finite scattering rate $1/\tau$ results in a…

The conductance of disordered wires with symplectic symmetry is studied by a random-matrix approach. It has been believed that Anderson localization inevitably arises in ordinary disordered wires. A counterexample is recently found in the…
The conductance of disordered wires with symplectic symmetry is studied by a random-matrix approach. It has been shown that the behavior of the conductance in the long-wire limit crucially depends on whether the number of conducting…
We investigate a normal metal -- superconductor (point) contact in the limit where the number of conducting channels in the metallic wire is reduced to few channels. As the effective Fermi energy drops below the gap energy, a conducting…

In dirty superconducting wires, quasiparticle states at the Fermi level need not be exponentially localized if spin-rotation symmetry is broken [Brouwer {\em et al.}, Phys. Rev. Lett. {\bf 85}, 1064 (2000)]. Here we present evidence that…
We study the statistics of the conductance $g$ through one-dimensional disordered systems where electron wavefunctions decay spatially as $|\psi| \sim \exp (-\lambda r^{\alpha})$ for $0 <\alpha <1$, $\lambda$ being a constant. In contrast…
We model the effect of phase-breaking collisions on the coherent electron transport in a disordered one-dimensional single-channel wire. In our model the phase-breaking collisions break the wire into segments, where each segment is an…
In a one-dimensional spinless p-wave superconductor with coherence length \xi, disorder induces a phase transition between a topologically nontrivial phase and a trivial insulating phase at the critical mean free path l=\xi/2. Here, we show…
We derive an expression for the transport mean free path $\ell^*_\perp$ associated with magneto-transverse light diffusion for a random collection of Faraday-active Mie scatterers. This expression relates the magneto-transverse diffusion in…
Diffusive random walks feature the surprising property that the average length of all possible random trajectories that enter and exit a finite domain is determined solely by the domain boundary. Changes in the diffusion constant or the…

A fundamental insight in the theory of diffusive random walks is that the mean length of trajectories traversing a finite open system is independent of the details of the diffusion process. Instead, the mean trajectory length depends only…
