  "abstract": "We study the interplay between disorder, interactions and decoherence induced by spontaneous emission process. Interactions are included in the Anderson model via a mean-field approximation, and a simple model for spontaneous emission is introduced. Numerical simulations allow us to study the effects of decoherence on different dynamical regimes. Physical pictures for the mechanisms at play are discussed and provide simple interpretations. Finally, we discuss the validity of scaling laws on the initial state width.",
