We study the properties of the normal modes of a chain of Josephson junctions in the simultaneous presence of disorder and absorption. We consider the superconducting regime of small phase fluctuations and focus on the case where the effects of disorder and absorption can be treated additively. We analyze the frequency shift and the localization length of the modes. We also calculate the distribution of the frequency-dependent impedance of the chain. The distribution is Gaussian if the localization length is long compared to the absorption length; it has a power law tail in the opposite limit.

We consider the dynamics of an electron in an infinite disordered metallic wire. We derive exact expressions for the probability of diffusive return to the starting point in a given time. The result is valid for wires with or without time-reversal sy
mmetry and allows for the possibility of topologically protected conducting channels. In the absence of protected channels, Anderson localization leads to a nonzero limiting value of the return probability at long times, which is approached as a negative power of time with an exponent depending on the symmetry class. When topologically protected channels are present (in a wire of either unitary or symplectic symmetry), the probability of return decays to zero at long time as a power law whose exponent depends on the number of protected channels. Technically, we describe the electron dynamics by the one-dimensional supersymmetric non-linear sigma model. We derive an exact identity that relates any local dynamical correlation function in a disordered wire of unitary, orthogonal, or symplectic symmetry to a certain expectation value in the random matrix ensemble of class AIII, CI, or DIII, respectively. The established exact mapping from one- to zero-dimensional sigma model is very general and can be used to compute any local observable in a disordered wire.
We propose a scheme to implement a tunable, wide frequency-band dissipative environment using a double chain of Josephson junctions. The two parallel chains consist of identical SQUIDs, with magnetic-flux tunable inductance, coupled to each other at
each node via a capacitance much larger than the junction capacitance. Thanks to this capacitive coupling, the system sustains electromagnetic modes with a wide frequency dispersion. The internal quality factor of the modes is maintained as high as possible, and the damping is introduced by a uniform coupling of the modes to a transmission line, itself connected to an amplification and readout circuit. For sufficiently long chains, containing several thousands of junctions, the resulting admittance is a smooth function versus frequency in the microwave domain, and its effective dissipation can be continuously monitored by recording the emitted radiation in the transmission line. We show that by varying in-situ the SQUIDs inductance, the double chain can operate as tunable ohmic resistor in a frequency band spanning up to one GHz, with a resistance that can be swept through values comparable to the resistance quantum R_q = (h/4e^2) ~ 6.5 k{Omega}. We argue that the circuit complexity is within reach using current Josephson junction technology.
We construct a model to study the localization properties of nanowires of dopants in silicon (Si) fabricated by precise ionic implantation or STM lithography. Experiments have shown that Ohms law holds in some cases, in apparent defiance to the Ander
son localization theory in one dimension. We investigate how valley interference affects the traditional theory of electronic structure of disordered systems. Each isolated donor orbital is realistically described by multi-valley effective mass theory (MV-EMT). We extend this model to describe chains of donors as a linear combination of dopant orbitals. Disorder in donor positioning is taken into account, leading to an intricate disorder distribution of hoppings between nearest neighbor donor sites (donor-donor tunnel coupling) -- an effect of valley interference. The localization length is obtained for phosphorous (P) donor chains from a transfer matrix approach and is further compared with the chain length. We quantitatively determine the impact of uncertainties $delta R$ in the implantation position relative to a target and also compare our results with those obtained without valley interference. We analyse systematically the aimed inter-donor separation dependence ($R_0$) and show that fairly diluted donor chains ($R_0=7.7$ nm) may be as long as 100 nm before the effective onset of Anderson localization, as long as the positioning error is under a lattice parameter ($delta R <0.543$ nm).
Optomechanical arrays are a promising future platform for studies of transport, many-body dynamics, quantum control and topological effects in systems of coupled photon and phonon modes. We introduce disordered optomechanical arrays, focusing on feat
ures of Anderson localization of hybrid photon-phonon excitations. It turns out that these represent a unique disordered system, where basic parameters can be easily controlled by varying the frequency and the amplitude of an external laser field. We show that the two-species setting leads to a non-trivial frequency dependence of the localization length for intermediate laser intensities. This could serve as a convincing evidence of localization in a non-equilibrium dissipative situation.
Inspired by a recent experiment, we study the influence of thermal fluctuations on the $I$-$V$ characteristics of a Josephson junction, coupled to a strongly resistive environment. We obtain analytical results in the limit where the Josephson energy
is larger than the charging energy and quasiparticles are absent.
