The review deals with the physics of cold atomic gases in the presence of disorder. The
emphasis is on the theoretical developments, although several experiments are also briefly …

In disordered media, quantum interference effects are expected to induce complete
suppression of electron conduction. The phenomenon, known as Anderson localization, has …

Anderson localization (AL) is a ubiquitous interference phenomenon in which waves fail to
propagate in a disordered medium. We observe three-dimensional AL of noninteracting …

Anderson localization is a universal phenomenon affecting non-interacting quantum
particles in a disordered environment. In three spatial dimensions, theory predicts a …

We report on the direct observation of coherent backscattering (CBS) of ultracold atoms in a
quasi-two-dimensional configuration. Launching atoms with a well-defined momentum in a …

We establish a phase diagram of a model in which scalar waves are scattered by resonant
point scatterers pinned at random positions in the free three-dimensional space. A transition …

Using the transfer-matrix method, we numerically compute the precise position of the
mobility edge of atoms exposed to a laser speckle potential and study its dependence …

Recent experiments in noninteracting ultracold atoms in three-dimensional speckle
potentials have yielded conflicting results regarding the so-called mobility edge, ie, the …

We report on the measurement of the spectral functions of noninteracting ultracold atoms in
a three-dimensional disordered potential resulting from an optical speckle field. Varying the …

We study the localization of a noninteracting and weakly interacting Bose-Einstein
condensate (BEC) with spin-orbit coupling loaded in a quasiperiodic bichromatic optical …
