• Abstract: We study a quantum particle hopping on an infinite Cayley tree with nearest-neighbor hopping amplitudes drawn from a distribution singular as $|t|^{-a}$ near weak links and no on-site disorder. Because the graph is bipartite, the model has chiral symmetry, which strongly affects the statistics of eigenstates at the center of the spectrum. Using population dynamics to solve the cavity equations for the propagator, we analyze the distribution of the local density of states and show that it develops broad power-law tails. These tails imply an unusual form of wave-function statistics, which we call semi-fractality: the eigenstates occupy an extensive fraction of the system, but their higher moments behave as in a multifractal state. We find that the symmetry properties of the local-density-of-states distribution are not fixed only by the symmetry class, but vary continuously with the exponent controlling the power-law hopping distribution. As this exponent is changed, the system crosses from a semi-fractal regime to a localized one. At the transition, the wave functions realize an extreme intermediate form that we call semi-localized, simultaneously extended in their support but localized according to higher moments.

  Signatures of localization have been observed in condensed matter and cold atomic systems. We propose a model of one-dimensional chain of non-interacting, spinless fermions coupled to a local ensemble of baths. We show that the steady state of the system undergoes a localization entanglement phase transition by tuning $p$ which remains stable in the presence of coherent hopping.

  We consider nonequilibrium time evolution in quantum spin chains after a global quench. Because of them, the stationary state emerging at infinite time can exhibit exceptional features. Among the exceptional properties, we find that, at late times, the excess of entropy of a spin block triggered by a local perturbation in the initial state grows logarithmically with the subsystem's length.

  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.
