The interplay between strong Coulomb interactions and randomness has been a long-standing problem in condensed matter physics. According to the scaling theory of localization, in two-dimensional systems of noninteracting or weakly…
Apparent critical phenomena, typically indicated by growing correlation lengths and dynamical slowing-down, are ubiquitous in non-equilibrium systems such as supercooled liquids, amorphous solids, active matter and spin glasses. It is often…
We highlight certain key achievements in experimental work on molecular, colloidal and granular glassformers. This short review considers these three classes of experimental systems and focusses largely on the work of the authors and their…
We explore the possibility for translationally invariant quantum many-body systems to undergo a dynamical glass transition, at which ergodicity and translational invariance break down spontaneously, driven entirely by quantum effects. In…
Pinning a fraction of particles from an equilibrium configuration in supercooled liquids has been recently proposed as a way to induce a new kind of glass transition, the Random Pinning Glass Transition (RPGT). The RPGT has been predicted…
Anderson localization is a universal phenomenon affecting non-interacting quantum particles in disorder. In three spatial dimensions it becomes particularly interesting to study because of the presence of a quantum phase transition from…
The position of a field-tuned superconductor-insulator quantum transition occuring in disordered thin films is examined within the mean field approximation. Our calculation shows that the microscopic disorder-induced reduction of the…
We propose a new viewpoint on the study of localization transitions in disordered quantum systems, showing how critical properties can be seen also as a geometric transition in the data space generated by the classically encoded…
Although topological Anderson insulator has been predicted in 2009, the lasting investigations of this disorder established nontrivial state results in only two experimental observations in cold atoms [Science, {\bf 362 },929 (2018)] and in…
Recent work on the zero temperature phases and phase transitions of strongly random electronic system is reviewed. The transition between the spin glass and quantum paramagnet is examined, for both metallic and insulating systems. Insight…
This key-issues review is a plea for a new focus on simpler and more realistic models of glass-forming fluids. It seems to me that we have too often been led astray by sophisticated mathematical models that beautifully capture some of the…
The quantum ferromagnetic transition of itinerant electrons is considered. We give a pedagogical review of recent results which show that zero-temperature soft modes that are commonly neglected, invalidate the standard…
We study the interplay of superfluidity, glassy and magnetic orders of hardcore bosons with random frustrating interactions. In the classical limit, this model reduces to a $\pm J$ Edwards-Anderson Ising model with concentration $p$ of the…
In the most popular approach to the numerical study of the Anderson metal-insulator transition the transfer matrix method is combined with finite-size scaling ideas. This approach requires large computer resources to overcome the…
We report a numerical analysis of Anderson localization in a model of a doped semiconductor. The model incorporates the disorder arising from the random spatial distribution of the donor impurities and takes account of the electron-electron…
Using the mapping of the Fokker-Planck description of classical stochastic dynamics onto a quantum Hamiltonian, we argue that a dynamical glass transition in the former must have a precise definition in terms of a quantum phase transition…
We consider the quantum ferromagnetic transition at zero temperature in clean itinerant electron systems. We find that the Landau-Ginzburg-Wilson order parameter field theory breaks down since the electron-electron interaction leads to…
Self-consistent theory of electron localization in disordered systems is generalized for the case of interacting electrons. We propose and critically compare a number of possible self-consistency schemes which take into account the lowest…
One of the most remarkable predictions to emerge out of the exact infinite-dimensional solution of the glass problem is the Gardner transition. Although this transition was first theoretically proposed a generation ago for certain…
Glass transition where viscosity of liquids increases dramatically upon decrease of temperature without any major change in structural properties, remains one of the most challenging problems in condensed matter physics (Cavagna, 2009;…
