This dynamical system can be mapped onto a tight-binding Hamiltonian with pseudo-disorder, formally equivalent to the Anderson model of quantum disorder, with quantum chaos playing the role of disorder. This provides a very good quantum simulator for the Anderson physics.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2016-08-12T07:55:12.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "cold atoms", "quantum simulation", "disordered systems", "quantum disorder", "quantum chaos" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 0, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
