We investigate the effects of disorder on single particle time-evolution and two-particle correlations in an array of evanescently coupled waveguides with position-dependent tunneling rates. In the clean limit, the energy spectrum of such…
Open, non-equilibrium systems with balanced gain and loss, known as parity-time ($\mathcal{PT}$)-symmetric systems, exhibit properties that are absent in closed, isolated systems. A key property is the $\mathcal{PT}$-symmetry breaking…
The impact of disorder on wave transport has been extensively studied in Hermitian systems, where static randomness gives rise to Anderson localization. In non-Hermitian lattices, static disorder can lead to peculiar transport features,…
We experimentally investigate the evolution of linear and nonlinear waves in a realization of the Anderson model using disordered one dimensional waveguide lattices. Two types of localized eigenmodes, flat-phased and staggered, are directly…
We investigate the single-particle time evolution and two-particle quantum correlations in a one-dimensional $N$-site lattice with a site-dependent nearest neighbor tunneling function $t_\alpha(k)=t_0[k(N-k)]^{\alpha/2}$. Since the…
We study numerically the effects of short- and long-range correlations on the localization properties of the eigenstates in a one-dimensional disordered lattice characterized by a random non-Hermitian Hamiltonian, where the imaginary part…
We study the spatio-temporal evolution of wave packets in one-dimensional quasiperiodic lattices which localize linear waves. Nonlinearity (related to two-body interactions) has destructive effect on localization, as recently observed for…
We investigate the effects of weak disorder on the time evolution of a wave packet in an array of optical waveguides with parity-symmetric evanescent coupling and, open or periodic boundary conditions. For an open array, when the disorder…
We investigate the robustness of parity- and time-reversal ($\mP\mT$) symmetric phase in an $N$-site lattice with position-dependent, parity-symmetric hopping function and a pair of imaginary, $\mP\mT$-symmetric impurities. We find that the…
We study the effect of localized modes in lattices of size N with parity-time (PT) symmetry. Such modes are arranged in pairs of quasi-degenerate levels with splitting delta exp{-N/xi}, where \xi is their localization length. The level…
In this paper, we study the properties of two-dimensional lattices in the presence of non-Hermitian disorder. In the context of coupled mode theory, we consider random gain-loss distributions on every waveguide channel (on site disorder).…
We investigate the parity- and time-reversal ($\mathcal{PT}$)-symmetry breaking in lattice models in the presence of long-ranged, non-hermitian, $\mathcal{PT}$-symmetric potentials that remain finite or become divergent in the continuum…
We study the effect of disorder on the particle density evolution in a classical Hamiltonian driven lattice setup. If the disorder is localized within a finite sub-domain of the lattice, the emergence of strong tails in the density…
When light waves propagate through disordered photonic lattices, they can eventually become localized due to multiple scattering effects. Here we show experimentally that while the evolution and localization of the photon density…
Localization of waves by disorder is a fundamental physical problem encompassing a diverse spectrum of theoretical, experimental and numerical studies in the context of metal-insulator transition, quantum Hall effect, light propagation in…
We experimentally demonstrate PT-symmetric optical lattices with periodical gain and loss profiles in a coherently-prepared four-level N-type atomic system. By appropriately tuning the pertinent atomic parameters, the onset of PT-symmetry…
We investigate the dynamic behavior of lattices with disorder introduced through non-local network connections. Inspired by the Watts-Strogatz small-world model, we employ a single parameter to determine the probability of local connections…
We examine a one-dimensional $\mathcal{PT}$-symmetric binary lattice in the presence of diagonal disorder. We focus on the wave transport phenomena of localized and extended input beams for this disordered system. In the pure…
The impact of local reflection symmetry on wave localization and transport within finite disordered chains is investigated. Local symmetries thereby play the role of a spatial correlation of variable range in the finite system. We find…
