Observations provide strong evidence that the bosonic SIT in thin films is a Mott transition driven by Coulomb interactions that are screened by virtual quasiparticle excitations, which distinguishes these SITs from those in microfabricated Josephson Junction arrays, cold atom systems, and likely in high temperature superconductors with nodes in their quasipping states.

It is shown that disorder in the form of random gauge fields that act directly on particle phases can also drive localization, and evidence of a superfluid bose glass to insulator transition at a critical level of this gauge field disorder in a nano-patterned array of amorphous Bi islands is presented.
