We study quantum phase transitions of three-dimensional disordered systems in the chiral classes (AIII and BDI) with and without weak topological indices. We show that the systems with a nontrivial weak topological index universally exhibit…
Phase transitions governed by topological defects constitute a cornerstone of modern physics. Two-dimensional (2D) Anderson transitions in chiral symmetry classes are driven by the proliferation of vortex-antivortex pairs -- a mechanism…
We study the critical dynamics of matter waves at the 3D Anderson mobility edge in cold-atom disorder quench experiments. General scaling arguments are supported by precision numerics for the spectral function, diffusion coefficient, and…
We identify the key features of Kardar-Parisi-Zhang universality class in the fluctuations of the wave density logarithm, in a two-dimensional Anderson localized wave packet. In our numerical analysis, the fluctuations are found to exhibit…
The dc-conductivity of electrons on a square lattice interacting with a local repulsion in the presence of disorder is computed by means of quantum Monte Carlo simulations. We provide evidence for the existence of a transition from an…
The realization that electron localization in disordered systems (Anderson localization) is ultimately a wave phenomenon has led to the suggestion that photons could be similarly localized by disorder. This conjecture attracted wide…
We study far from equilibrium transport of a periodically driven inertial Brownian particle moving in a periodic potential. As detected recently for a SQUID ratchet dynamics (Spiechowicz J. & Luczka J. Phys. Rev. E 91, 062104 (2015)), the…
The two-dimensional hyperbolic plane, $\mathbb{H}^2$, is an unusual system in that dimensionality changes with scale: locally two-dimensional and planar at short distances, but effectively infinite-dimensional at large scales, it provides…
A field theory of the Anderson transition in two dimensional disordered systems with spin-orbit interactions and time-reversal symmetry is developed, in which the proliferation of vortex-like topological defects is essential for…
We discuss conditions for the existence of the diffusion pole and its consequences in disordered noninteracting electron systems. Using only nonperturbative and exact arguments we find against expectations that the diffusion pole can exist…
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…
We study the role of electronic correlation in a disordered two-dimensional model by using a variational wave function that can interpolate between Anderson and Mott insulators. Within this approach, the Anderson-Mott transition can be…
Transport of coherent waves in multiple-scattering media may exhibit fundamental, non intuitive phenomena such as halt of diffusion by disorder called Anderson localization. For electromagnetic waves, this phenomenon was observed only in…
Systems which can spontaneously reveal periodic evolution are dubbed time crystals. This is in analogy with space crystals that display periodic behavior in configuration space. While space crystals are modelled with the help of space…
Anderson localization, the absence of diffusive transport in disordered systems, has been manifested as hopping transport in numerous electronic systems, whereas in recently discovered topological insulators it has not been directly…
We have examined the behaviour of noninteracting electrons moving on a corner-sharing tetrahedral lattice into which we introduce a uniform (box) distribution, of width W, of random on-site energies. We have used both the relative…
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 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…
Solutions of the wave equations for time-independent disordered media can exhibit Anderson localization where instead of wave propagation we observe their localization around different points in space. Photonic time crystals are spatially…
We investigate the ensemble and time averaged mean squared displacements for particle diffusion in a simple model for disordered media by assuming that the local diffusivity is both fluctuating in time and has a deterministic average growth…
