Localization of coherent propagating waves has been extensively studied over the years, primarily in homogeneous random media. However, significantly less attention has been given to wave localization in inhomogeneous systems, where the…
We study the localization phenomena in a one-dimensional lattice system with a uniformly moving disordered potential. At a low moving velocity, we find a sliding localized phase in which the initially localized matter wave adiabatically…
Non-Hermitian systems with aperiodic order display phase transitions that are beyond the paradigm of Hermitian physics. Unfortunately, owing to the incommensurability of the potential most of known non-Hermitian models are not integrable.…
The light propagating in a waveguide array or photonic lattice has become an ideal platform to control light and to mimic quantum behaviors in a classical system. We here investigate the propagation of light in a coupled waveguide array…
We review both theoretical and experimental advances in the recently emerged physics of modulated photonic lattices. Artificial periodic dielectric media, such as photonic crystals and photonic lattices, provide a powerful tool for the…
We introduce and analyze a model for the transport of particles or energy in extended lattice systems. The dynamics of the model acts on a discrete phase space at discrete times but has nonetheless some of the characteristic properties of…
In this paper, we investigate Anderson localization for a nonlinear perturbation of the Maryland model $H=\varepsilon\Delta+\cot\pi(\theta+j\cdot\alpha)\delta_{j,j'}$ on $\mathbb{Z}^d$. Specifically, if $\varepsilon,\delta$ are sufficiently…
We study the polarization properties of elliptical femtosecond-laser-written waveguides arrays. A new analytical model is presented to explain the asymmetry of the spatial transverse profiles of linearly polarized modes in these waveguides.…
Research on time crystals concerns the spontaneous breaking of translational symmetry in time, as well as the realization of phenomena and phases known from solid-state physics in the time domain. Periodically driven systems of massive…
We present a discrete model of resonant scattering of waves by an open periodic waveguide. The model elucidates a phenomenon common in electromagnetics, in which the interaction of plane waves with embedded guided modes of the waveguide…
In classical mechanics, a particle cannot escape from an unbounded potential well. Naively, one would expect a similar result to hold in wave mechanics, since high barriers make tunneling difficult. However, this is not always the case and…
Within the framework of the Aubry-Andre model, one kind of self-dual quasiperiodic lattice, it is known that a sharp transition occurs from \emph{all} eigenstates being extended to \emph{all} being localized. The common perception for this…
In this paper, we establish Anderson localization for the Maryland model with long range interactions.
Anderson localization was discovered 50 years ago to describe the propagation of electrons in the presence of disorder. The main prediction back then, was the existence of disorder induced localized states, which do not conduct electricity.…
We introduce a two-dimensional generalisation of the quasiperiodic Aubry-Andr\'e model. Even though this model exhibits the same duality relation as the one-dimensional version, its localisation properties are found to be substantially more…
We introduce the non-Hermitian mosaic Maryland model, where a discrete modulation period and a non-Hermitian phase are incorporated into the potential, rendering the originally exactly solvable system generally non-integrable. This model…
The one-dimensional propagation of waves in a bichromatic potential may be modeled by the Aubry-Andr\'e Hamiltonian. The latter presents a delocalization-localization transition, which has been observed in recent experiments using ultracold…
Optical turbulence occurring in the oceanic waters may be detrimental for light beams used in the short-link communication and sensing systems, and, in particular, in underwater LIDARs. We develop a theory capable of predicting the passage…
We propose to observe Anderson localization of ultracold atoms in the presence of a random potential made of atoms of another species and trapped at the nodes of an optical lattice, with a filling factor less than unity. Such systems enable…
Light propagation in optical waveguides with periodically modulated index of refraction and alternating gain and loss are investigated for linear and nonlinear systems. Based on a multiscale perturbation analysis, it is shown that for many…
