Disorder and interference: localization phenomena

TL;DR

This paper discusses how disorder and interference affect wave transport and localization in disordered systems, especially in ultracold atom experiments, highlighting the fundamental phenomena of wave localization.

Contribution

It provides a detailed analysis of localization phenomena caused by disorder and interference, with a focus on ultracold atom realizations, offering new insights into wave transport.

Findings

Interference leads to wave localization in disordered systems.

Ultracold atoms serve as a versatile platform to study localization phenomena.

Transport properties are significantly affected by disorder and interference effects.

Abstract

The specific problem we address in these lectures is the problem of transport and localization in disordered systems, when interference is present, as characteristic for waves, with a focus on realizations with ultracold atoms.
