Research Group "Disordered Quantum Systems" (DisQS)

For disordered, non-interacting electrons, the scaling hypothesis of localization suggests that a metal-insulator transition (MIT) exists for non-interacting electrons in three dimensions (3D). In 1D and 2D, the same hypothesis shows that there is no MIT. In a nutshell, our research is concerned with establishing how modifications in the disorder, dimensionality and many-body interactions can change this simple picture. To this end, we use a combination of analytical and numerical techniques. Physicists and other scientists with good mathematical skills, a desire to understand nature and a proclivity for computational approaches, are always most welcome to join.
