Abstract
We consider the quantum dynamics of interacting bosons in the mean-field regime when they are subjected to a disordered potential, which is either random or quasi-periodic. Starting from a spatially localized Bose-Einstein condensate, we prove that fluctuations around the condensate propagate with a small velocity due to the disorder. This provides an example of a disordered many-body system with provably slow transport behavior in any spatial dimension. The main technical novelty is an interaction picture analysis relative to the Anderson-localized one-body dynamics.
