This paper aims at presenting a few models of quantum dynamics whose description involves the analysis of random unitary matrices for which dynamical localization has been proven to hold. Some models come from physical approximations leading to effective descriptions of the dynamics of certain random systems that are popular in condensed matter theoretical physics, whereas others find their roots in more abstract considerations and generalizations. Although they may differ in details, the…

It is proved that dynamical localization holds for almost all random phases and that spectral localization holds, almost surely, for all quantum mechanical moments of the position operator.

We consider a d-dimensional random quantum walk with site-dependent random coin operators. The corresponding transition coefficients are characterized by deterministic amplitudes times independent…

Dynamical Localization for Unitary Anderson Models

This paper establishes dynamical localization properties of certain families of unitary random operators on the d-dimensional lattice in various regimes. These operators are generalizations of…

Dynamical Localization of Quantum Walks in Random Environments

The dynamics of a one dimensional quantum walker on the lattice with two internal degrees of freedom, the coin states, is considered. The discrete time unitary dynamics is determined by the repeated…

Quantum localization in open chaotic systems.

It is conjecture that the idea that the localization lengths of lossy quasibound states located near the absorbing boundaries decrease as they approach the boundary while the corresponding decay rates Gamma are dramatically enhanced is valid for the system exhibiting both the diffusion in classical dynamics and the exponential localization in quantum mechanics.

Localization for Random Unitary Operators

AbstractWe consider unitary analogs of one-dimensional Anderson models on $$l^2(\mathbb{Z})$$ defined by the product Uω=DωS where S is a deterministic unitary and Dω is a diagonal matrix of i.i.d.…

Localization and fractality in inhomogeneous quantum walks with self-duality.

The models are shown to be self-dual with respect to the Fourier transform, which is analogous to the Aubry-André model describing the one-dimensional tight-binding model with a quasiperiodic potential.

Moment analysis for localization in random Schrödinger operators

We study localization effects of disorder on the spectral and dynamical properties of Schrödinger operators with random potentials. The new results include exponentially decaying bounds on the…

Quantum walks on a random environment

Quantum walks are considered in a one-dimensional random medium characterized by static or dynamic disorder. Quantum interference for static disorder can lead to Anderson localization which…

Localization and its consequences for quantum walk algorithms and quantum communication

The exponential speedup of quantum walks on certain graphs, relative to classical particles diffusing on the same graph, is a striking observation. It has suggested the possibility of new fast…
