Experimental realization of a 3D long-range random hopping model

Understand

Randomness and disorder have strong impact on transport processes in quantum systems and give rise to phenomena such as Anderson localization [1-3], many-body localization [4] or glassy dynamics [5].

• Their characteristics thereby depend on the strength and type of disorder.
• An important class are hopping models, where particles or excitations move through a system which has randomized couplings.
• This includes, e.g., spin glasses [5], coupled optical waveguides [6], or NV center arrays [7].
