Quantum transport of atomic matter waves in anisotropic two-dimensional and three-dimensional disorder
The macroscopic transport properties in a disordered potential, namely diffusion and
weak/strong localization, closely depend on the microscopic and statistical properties of the …

Coherent forward scattering as a robust probe of multifractality in critical disordered media
We study coherent forward scattering (CFS) in critical disordered systems, whose

Weakly interacting disordered Bose gases out of equilibrium: From multiple scattering to superfluidity (a)
We explore the quench dynamics of a two-dimensional, weakly interacting disordered Bose
gas for various relative strengths of interactions and disorder. This allows us to identify two …
