چکیده

We predict quantum correlations between noninteracting particles evolving simultaneously in a disordered medium. While the particle density follows the single-particle dynamics and exhibits Anderson localization, the two-particle correlation develops unique features that depend on the quantum statistics of the particles and their initial separation. On short time scales, the localization of one particle becomes dependent on whether or not the other particle is localized. On long time scales, the localized particles show oscillatory correlations within the localization length. These effects can be observed in Anderson localization of nonclassical light and ultracold atoms.

Random Schrödinger Operators: Universal Localization, Correlations, and Interactions

By many accounts, the quantum mechanics of disordered media had its origin in Anderson’s ground-breaking and Nobel Prize winning work in 1958 on what is now called Anderson localization. In mathematics, the quantum mechanical model studied by Anderson, now called the Anderson model, is at the center of the field of random Schrödinger operators. The mathematical analysis of the Anderson, and rel...

رسانایی و ابررسانایی توسط تهی جاهای الماسی

  Motivated by the idea of impurity band superconductivity in heavily Boron doped diamond, we investigate the doping of various elements into diamond to address the question, which impurity band can offer a better DOS at the Fermi level. Surprisingly, we find that the vacancy does the best job in producing the largest DOS at the Fermi surface. To investigate the effect of disorder in Anderson l...

Anderson localization and colocalization of spatially entangled photons

We explore the propagation of light in a two-photon state in disordered optical systems that induce Anderson localization. We show that entangled-photon pairs demonstrate a surprising behavior that we call Anderson colocalization: While neither photon exhibits Anderson localization, the spatial correlations of the pair remain intact. Furthermore, we show that entangled-photon pairs colocalize f...

Quantum Harmonic Oscillator Systems with Disorder

We study many-body properties of quantum harmonic oscillator lattices with disorder. A sufficient condition for dynamical localization, expressed as a zero-velocity LiebRobinson bound, is formulated in terms of the decay of the eigenfunction correlators for an effective one-particle Hamiltonian. We show how state-of-the-art techniques for proving Anderson localization can be used to prove that ...

Quantum Mechanical Localization Effects for Bose-Einstein Correlations

For a set of N identical massive boson wavepackets with optimal initial quantum mechanical localization, we derive the Hanbury-Brown/Twiss (HBT) two-particle correlation function. Our result provides finite multiplicity corrections to the coherent state formalism and allows to trace back an error in the so-called cos-prescription. It suggests that what the HBT radius parameters in very small bo...
