We numerically simulate the low-energy properties of interacting electrons in a random potential using the Hartree-Fock based exact diagonalization method. In particular, we investigate how the transport properties are influenced by the…
We study simple nonequilibrium distributions describing a classical gas of particles interacting via a pair potential ${\phi}(x/{\epsilon})$, in the Boltzmann-Grad scaling ${\epsilon} \rightarrow 0$. We establish bounds for truncated…
Localization of relativistic particles and their position-momentum uncertainty relations are not yet fully understood. We discuss two schemes of photon localization that are based on the energy density. One scheme produces a positive…
Recent work has argued that the concepts of entanglement and nonlocality must be taken seriously even in systems consisting of only a single particle. These treatments, however, are nonrelativistic and, if single particle entanglement is…

We propose new measures of localization and cooperativity for the analysis of atomic rearrangements. We show that for both clusters and bulk material cooperative rearrangements usually have significantly lower barriers than uncooperative…

Nano- and microscale particles, such as colloids, commonly interact over ranges much shorter than their diameters, so it is natural to treat them as "sticky," interacting only when they touch exactly. The lowest-energy states, free…
A particle subject to successive, random displacements is said to execute a random walk (in position or some other coordinate). The mathematical properties of random walks have been very thoroughly investigated, and the model is used in…
The localization properties of a two-dimensional disordered electron gas in a strong external magnetic field are studied. The impurities are considered to be located on a square lattice with random amplitudes. The concentration of these…
We review recent works that relate entanglement of random vectors to their localization properties. In particular, the linear entropy is related by a simple expression to the inverse participation ratio, while next orders of the entropy of…
Quantum entanglement is one of the most intriguing phenomena in physics, but many presentations of the subject leave a false impression that it provides a sort of "remote control" for changing the state of a distant particle by local…
We investigate the random matrix configurations for two or three interacting electrons in one-dimensional disordered systems. In a suitable non-interacting localized electron basis we obtain a sparse random matrix with very long tails which…

We find that the confinement potential of a few electron quantum dot can be tuned to significantly increase the overlap with certain quantum Hall trial wave functions. Besides manipulating inter-electron interaction, this approach may prove…
