Interplay of thermalization and strong disorder: Wave turbulence theory, numerical simulations, and experiments in multimode optical fibers
We address the problem of thermalization in the presence of a time-dependent disorder in
the framework of the nonlinear Schrödinger (or Gross-Pitaevskii) equation with a random …

Quantum boomerang effect for interacting particles
When a quantum particle is launched with a finite velocity in a disordered potential, it may
surprisingly come back to its initial position at long times and remain there forever. This …

Low-energy prethermal phase and crossover to thermalization in nonlinear kicked rotors
In the presence of interactions, periodically driven quantum systems generically thermalize
to an infinite-temperature state. Recently, however, it was shown that in random kicked …
