We explore numerically, analytically, and experimentally the relationship between quasi-normal modes (QNMs) and transmission resonance (TR) peaks in the transmission spectrum of one-dimensional (1D) and quasi-1D open disordered systems. It is shown that for weak disorder there exist two types of the eigenstates: ordinary QNMs which are associated with a TR, and hidden QNMs which do not exhibit peaks in transmission or within the sample. The distinctive feature of the hidden modes is that unlike ordinary ones, their lifetimes remain constant in a wide range of the strength of disorder. In this range, the averaged ratio of the number of transmission peaks $N_{rm res}$ to the number of QNMs $N_{rm mod}$, $N_{rm res}/N_{rm mod}$, is insensitive to the type and degree of disorder and is close to the value $sqrt{2/5}$, which we derive analytically in the weak-scattering approximation. The physical nature of the hidden modes is illustrated in simple examples with a few scatterers. The analogy between ordinary and hidden QNMs and the segregation of superradiant states and trapped modes is discussed. When the coupling to the environment is tuned by an external edge reflectors, the superradiace transition is reproduced. Hidden modes have been also found in microwave measurements in quasi-1D open disordered samples. The microwave measurements and modal analysis of transmission in the crossover to localization in quasi-1D systems give a ratio of $N_{rm res}/N_{rm mod}$ close to $sqrt{2/5}$. In diffusive quasi-1D samples, however, $N_{rm res}/N_{rm mod}$ falls as the effective number of transmission eigenchannels $M$ increases. Once $N_{rm mod}$ is divided by $M$, however, the ratio $N_{rm res}/N_{rm mod}$ is close to the ratio found in 1D.

We provide some analytical tests of the density of states estimation from the localization landscape approach of Ref. [Phys. Rev. Lett. 116, 056602 (2016)]. We consider two different solvable models for which we obtain the distribution of the landscape function and argue that the precise spectral singularities are not reproduced by the estimation of the landscape approach.
We study the properties of the avoided or hidden quantum critical point (AQCP) in three dimensional Dirac and Weyl semi-metals in the presence of short range potential disorder. By computing the averaged density of states (along with its second and fourth derivative at zero energy) with the kernel polynomial method (KPM) we systematically tune the effective length scale that eventually rounds out the transition and leads to an AQCP. We show how to determine the strength of the avoidance, establishing that it is not controlled by the long wavelength component of the disorder. Instead, the amount of avoidance can be adjusted via the tails of the probability distribution of the local random potentials. A binary distribution with no tails produces much less avoidance than a Gaussian distribution. We introduce a double Gaussian distribution to interpolate between these two limits. As a result we are able to make the length scale of the avoidance sufficiently large so that we can accurately study the properties of the underlying transition (that is eventually rounded out), unambiguously identify its location, and provide accurate estimates of the critical exponents $ u=1.01pm0.06$ and $z=1.50pm0.04$. We also show that the KPM expansion order introduces an effective length scale that can also round out the transition in the scaling regime near the AQCP.
We study the collective excitations, i.e., the Goldstone (phase) mode and the Higgs (amplitude) mode, near the superfluid--Mott glass quantum phase transition in a two-dimensional system of disordered bosons. Using Monte Carlo simulations as well as an inhomogeneous quantum mean-field theory with Gaussian fluctuations, we show that the Higgs mode is strongly localized for all energies, leading to a noncritical scalar response. In contrast, the lowest-energy Goldstone mode undergoes a striking delocalization transition as the system enters the superfluid phase. We discuss the generality of these findings and experimental consequences, and we point out potential relations to many-body localization.
We study a disordered vibrational model system, where the spring constants k are chosen from a distribution P(k) ~ 1/k above a cut-off value k_min > 0. We can motivate this distribution by the presence of free volume in glassy materials. We show that the model system reproduces several important features of the boson peak in real glasses: (i) a low-frequency excess contribution to the Debye density of states, (ii) the hump of the specific heat c_V(T) including the power-law relation between height and position of the hump, and (iii) the transition to localized modes well above the boson peak frequency.
The local distribution of exciton levels in disordered cyanine-dye-based molecular nano-aggregates has been elucidated using fluorescence line narrowing spectroscopy. The observation of a Wigner-Dyson-type level spacing distribution provides direct evidence of the existence of level repulsion of strongly overlapping states in the molecular wires, which is important for the understanding of the level statistics, and therefore the `functional properties, of a large variety of nano-confined systems.
