• Abstract summary: We experimentally study a degenerate, spin-polarized Fermi gas in a disorder potential formed by an optical speckle pattern. We find that some show signatures for a transition to localization above a critical disorder strength, while others show a smooth crossover to a modified diffusion regime. Our work emphasizes that the transition toward localization can be investigated by closely analyzing the system's diffusion.

• Abstract: Disorder can fundamentally modify the transport properties of a system. A striking example is Anderson localization, suppressing transport due to destructive interference of propagation paths. In inhomogeneous many-body systems, not all particles are localized for finite-strength disorder, and the system can become partially diffusive. Unravelling the intricate signatures of localization from such observed diffusion is a long-standing problem. Here, we experimentally study a degenerate, spin-polarized Fermi gas in a disorder potential formed by an optical speckle pattern. We record the diffusion in the disordered potential upon release from an external confining potential. We compare different methods to analyze the resulting density distributions, including a new method to capture particle dynamics by evaluating absorption-image statistics. Using standard observables, such as diffusion exponent and coefficient, localized fraction, or localization length, we find that some show signatures for a transition to localization above a critical disorder strength, while others show a smooth crossover to a modified diffusion regime. In laterally displaced disorder, we spatially resolve different transport regimes simultaneously which allows us to extract the subdiffusion exponent expected for weak localization. Our work emphasizes that the transition toward localization can be investigated by closely analyzing the system's diffusion, offering ways of revealing localization effects beyond the signature of exponentially decaying density distribution.

• Scaling of diffusion constants in perturbed easy-axis Heisenberg spin chains [0.0]
  We study the stability of superdiffusion at the isotropic point and the change of diffusion constants in the easy-axis regime. In the closed system, we find evidence for a continuous change of diffusion constants over the full range of perturbation strengths. In the open system, we find diffusion constants in quantitative agreement with the ones in the closed system in a range of nonweak perturbations.

• Suppress Content Shift: Better Diffusion Features via Off-the-Shelf Generation Techniques [119.02857688205295]
  We discover that diffusion feature has been hindered by a hidden yet universal phenomenon that we call content shift. We locate the cause of content shift as one inherent characteristic of diffusion models, which suggests the broad existence of this phenomenon in diffusion feature. We propose a practical guideline named GATE to efficiently evaluate the potential benefit of a technique and provide an implementation of our methodology.

  We show that diffusion models frequently exhibit the infinite Lipschitz near the zero point of timesteps. This poses a threat to the stability and accuracy of the diffusion process, which relies on integral operations. We propose a novel approach, dubbed E-TSDM, which eliminates the Lipschitz of the diffusion model near zero.

  We develop a microscopic transport theory in a randomly driven fermionic model with and without linear potential. The universal diffusive behavior is attributed to a noise-induced bound state arising in the operator equations of motion at small momentum. We then characterize the fate of Stark localization in the presence of noise.

  Anderson localization is the ubiquitous phenomenon of inhibition of transport of classical and quantum waves in a disordered medium. The exact shape of the stationary localized distribution differs from a purely exponential profile and has been computed almost fifty years ago by Gogolin. Using the atomic quantum kicked rotor, a paradigmatic quantum simulator of Anderson localization physics, we study this distribution.

• Detecting delocalization-localization transitions from full density distributions [0.0]
  Characterizing the delocalization transition in closed quantum systems with a many-body localized phase is a key open question in the field of nonequilibrium physics. We study its scaling behavior across delocalozation transitions and identify critical points from scaling collapses of numerical data. We observe a distinctively different scaling behavior in the case of interacting fermions with random disorder consistent with a Kosterlitz-Thouless transition.
