Controlling symmetry and localization with an artificial gauge field in a disordered quantum system
Anderson localization, the absence of diffusion in disordered media, draws its origins from
the destructive interference between multiple scattering paths. The localization properties of …

Coherent multiple scattering of out-of-equilibrium interacting Bose gases
We review recent theoretical and experimental progresses in the coherent multiple
scattering of weakly interacting disordered Bose gases. These systems have allowed, in the …

Quench dynamics of a weakly interacting disordered Bose gas in momentum space
We study theoretically the out-of-equilibrium dynamics in momentum space of a weakly

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 …

Ratchet effect in the quantum kicked rotor and its destruction by dynamical localization
We study experimentally a quantum kicked rotor with broken parity symmetry, supporting a
ratchet effect due to the presence of a classical accelerator mode. We show that the short …

Berezinskii approach to disordered spin systems with asymmetric scattering and application to the quantum boomerang effect
We extend the Berezinskii diagrammatic technique to one-dimensional disordered spin
systems, in which time-reversal invariance is broken due to a spin-orbit coupling term …

Crossover from renormalized to conventional diffusion near the three-dimensional Anderson localization transition for light
We report on anomalous light transport in the strong scattering regime. Using low-coherence
interferometry, we measure the reflection matrix of titanium dioxide powders, revealing …

Observation of the quantum boomerang effect
A particle in an Anderson-localized system, if launched in any direction, should, on average,
return to its starting point and stay there. Despite the central role played by Anderson …
