Disordered quantum gases under control

L Sanchez-Palencia, M Lewenstein - Nature Physics, 2010 - nature.com
When attempting to understand the role of disorder in condensed-matter physics, we face
considerable experimental and theoretical difficulties, and many questions are still open …

Heat transport in low-dimensional systems

A Dhar - Advances in Physics, 2008 - Taylor & Francis
Recent results on theoretical studies of heat conduction in low-dimensional systems are
presented. These studies are on simple, yet non-trivial, models. Most of these are classical …

Observation of a localization transition in quasiperiodic photonic lattices

Y Lahini, R Pugatch, F Pozzi, M Sorel, R Morandotti… - Physical review …, 2009 - APS
We report the observation of the signature of a localization phase transition for light in one-
dimensional quasiperiodic photonic lattices, by directly measuring wave transport inside the …

Universal spreading of wave packets in disordered nonlinear systems

S Flach, DO Krimer, C Skokos - Physical Review Letters, 2009 - APS
In the absence of nonlinearity all eigenmodes of a chain with disorder are spatially localized
(Anderson localization). The width of the eigenvalue spectrum and the average eigenvalue …

Delocalization of wave packets in disordered nonlinear chains

C Skokos, DO Krimer, S Komineas, S Flach - Physical Review E—Statistical …, 2009 - APS
We consider the spatiotemporal evolution of a wave packet in disordered nonlinear
Schrödinger and anharmonic oscillator chains. In the absence of nonlinearity all eigenstates …

Observation of subdiffusion in a disordered interacting system

E Lucioni, B Deissler, L Tanzi, G Roati, M Zaccanti… - Physical review …, 2011 - APS
We study the transport dynamics of matter-waves in the presence of disorder and
nonlinearity. An atomic Bose-Einstein condensate that is localized in a quasiperiodic lattice …

Nonlinear relativistic and quantum equations with a common type of solution

FD Nobre, MA Rego-Monteiro, C Tsallis - Physical review letters, 2011 - APS
Generalizations of the three main equations of quantum physics, namely, the Schrödinger,
Klein-Gordon, and Dirac equations, are proposed. Nonlinear terms, characterized by …

Flat band states: Disorder and nonlinearity

D Leykam, S Flach, O Bahat-Treidel, AS Desyatnikov - Physical Review B, 2013 - APS
We study the critical behavior of Anderson localized modes near intersecting flat and
dispersive bands in the quasi-one-dimensional diamond ladder with weak diagonal disorder …

Non-linear waves in lattices: past, present, future

PG Kevrekidis - IMA Journal of Applied Mathematics, 2011 - academic.oup.com
In the present work, we attempt a brief summary of various areas where non-linear waves
have been emerging in the phenomenology of lattice dynamical systems. These areas …
