We present a novel approach to the localization-delocalization transition in the integer quantum Hall effect. The Hamiltonian projected onto the lowest Landau level can be written in terms of the projected density operators alone. This and…

We show how to visualize the process of diagonalizing the Hamiltonian matrix to find the energy eigenvalues and eigenvectors of a generic one-dimensional quantum system. Starting in the familiar sine-wave basis of an embedding infinite…

We study a generalisation of the Hatano-Nelson Hamiltonian in which a periodic modulation of the site energies is present in addition to the usual random distribution. The system can then become localized by disorder or develop a band gap,…

The nature of delocalization in a 1D system ruled by a tight-binding Hamiltonian is investigated. Using a local evaluation of the ground state energy, it is shown that the range of the delocalization effects is rather limited. The method is…

Delocalization problem for a two-dimensional non-interacting electron system is studied under a random magnetic field. With the presence of a random magnetic field, the Hall conductance carried by each eigenstate can become nonzero and…

We investigate the quantum dynamics of wave packets in a class of decorated lattices, both quasiperiodic and random, where a nominal quasi-one dimensionality is introduced at local levels, bringing in a deterministic or even random…

We study transport through a lateral quantum dot in the vicinity of the singlet-triplet transition in its ground state. This transition, being sharp in an isolated dot, is broadened to a crossover by the exchange interaction of the dot…

Exact diagonalization is a powerful numerical method to study isolated quantum many-body systems. This paper provides a review of numerical algorithms to diagonalize the Hamiltonian matrix. Symmetry and the conservation law help us perform…

The exact diagonalization technique is used to study many-particle properties of interacting electrons with spin, confined in a two-dimensional harmonic potential. The single-particle basis is limited to the lowest Landau level. The results…

We consider the spectral and dynamical properties of quantum systems of $n$ particles on the lattice $\Z^d$, of arbitrary dimension, with a Hamiltonian which in addition to the kinetic term includes a random potential with iid values at the…

The capacitive couplings between gate-defined quantum dots and their gates vary considerably as a function of applied gate voltages. The conversion between gate voltages and the relevant energy scales is usually performed in a regime of…

In this thesis, we focus on the energetic analysis within autonomous quantum systems. To this aim, we propose a novel and general formalism for a dynamic description of the energy exchanges between interacting subsystems. From the Schmidt…

Essential to the description of a quantum system are its local degrees of freedom, which enable the interpretation of subsystems and dynamics in the Hilbert space. While a choice of local tensor factorization of the Hilbert space is often…

The problem of electron--electron lifetime in a quantum dot is studied beyond perturbation theory by mapping it onto the problem of localization in the Fock space. We identify two regimes, localized and delocalized, corresponding to…

Real materials always contain, to some extent, randomness in the form of defects or irregularities. It is known since the seminal work of Anderson that randomness can drive a metallic phase to an insulating one, and the mechanism…

The energy levels of two interacting electrons in a 2D quantum dot confined by a finite Gaussian potential and subjected to a uniform magnetic field perpendicular to the plane of the dot are studied. Analytic results are obtained for the…

We calculate the exchange energy in two dimensional laterally coupled quantum dots using Heitler-London, Hund-Mullikan and variational methods. We assess the quality of these approximations in zero and finite magnetic fields comparing…

Calculations for two electrons in an elliptic quantum dot, using symmetry breaking at the unrestricted Hartree-Fock level and subsequent restoration of the broken parity via projection techniques, show that the electrons can localize and…

Quantum transport properties of electron systems driven by strong electric fields are studied by mapping the Landau-Zener transition dynamics to a quantum walk on a semi-infinite one-dimensional lattice with a reflecting boundary, where the…

Using Single Electron Capacitance Spectroscopy, we study electron additions in quantum dots containing two potential minima separated by a shallow barrier. Analysis of addition spectra in magnetic field allows us to distinguish whether…
