In this work we include the elastic scattering of longitudinal electromagnetic waves in transport theory using a medium filled with point-like, electric dipoles. The interference between longitudinal and transverse waves creates two new channels among which one allows energy transport. This picture is worked out by extending the independent scattering framework of radiative transfer to include binary dipole-dipole interactions. We calculate the diffusion constant of light in the new transport channel and investigate the role of longitudinal waves in other aspects of light diffusion by considering the density of states, equipartition, and Lorentz local field. In the strongly scattering regime, the different transport mechanisms couple and impose a minimum conductivity of electromagnetic waves, thereby preventing Anderson localization of light in the medium. We extend the self-consistent theory of localization and compare the predictions to extensive numerical simulations.

We discuss quantum propagation of dipole excitations in two dimensions. This problem differs from the conventional Anderson localization due to existence of long range hops. We found that the critical wavefunctions of the dipoles always exist which m
anifest themselves by a scale independent diffusion constant. If the system is T-invariant the states are critical for all values of the parameters. Otherwise, there can be a metal-insulator transition between this ordinary diffusion and the Levy-flights (the diffusion constant logarithmically increasing with the scale). These results follow from the two-loop analysis of the modified non-linear supermatrix $sigma$-model.
Disorder in quantum systems can lead to the disruption of long-range order in the ground state and to the localization of the elementary excitations - famous examples thereof being the Bose glass of interacting bosons in a disordered or quasi-periodi
c environment, or the localized phase of spin chains mapping onto fermions. Here we present a two-dimensional quantum Ising model - relevant to the physics of Rydberg-atom arrays - in which positional disorder of the spins induces a randomization of the spin-spin couplings and of an on-site longitudinal field. This form of disorder preserves long-range order in the ground state, while it localizes the elementary excitations above it, faithfully described as spin waves: the spin-wave spectrum is partially localized for weak disorder (seemingly exhibiting mobility edges between localized and extended, yet non-ergodic states), while it is fully localized for strong disorder. The regime of partially localized excitations exhibits a very rich non-equilibrium dynamics following a low-energy quench: correlations and entanglement spread with a power-law behavior whose exponent is a continuous function of disorder, interpolating between ballistic and arrested transport. Our findings expose a stark dichotomy between static and dynamical properties of disordered quantum spin systems, which is readily accessible to experimental verification using quantum simulators of closed quantum many-body systems.
We summarize the results of our comprehensive analytical and numerical studies of the effects of polarization on the Anderson localization of classical waves in one-dimensional random stacks. We consider homogeneous stacks composed entirely of normal
materials or metamaterials, and also mixed stacks composed of alternating layers of a normal material and metamaterial. We extend the theoretical study developed earlier for the case of normal incidence [A. A. Asatryan et al, Phys. Rev. B 81, 075124 (2010)] to the case of off-axis incidence. For the general case where both the refractive indices and layer thicknesses are random, we obtain the long-wave and short-wave asymptotics of the localization length over a wide range of incidence angles (including the Brewster ``anomaly angle). At the Brewster angle, we show that the long-wave localization length is proportional to the square of the wavelength, as for the case of normal incidence, but with a proportionality coefficient substantially larger than that for normal incidence. In mixed stacks with only refractive-index disorder, we demonstrate that p-polarized waves are strongly localized, while for s-polarization the localization is substantially suppressed, as in the case of normal incidence. In the case of only thickness disorder, we study also the transition from localization to delocalization at the Brewster angle.
We study the relation between quasi-normal modes (QNMs) and transmission resonances (TRs) in one-dimensional (1D) disordered systems. We show for the first time that while each maximum in the transmission coefficient is always related to a QNM, the r
everse statement is not necessarily correct. There exists an intermediate state, at which only a part of the QNMs are localized and these QNMs provide a resonant transmission. The rest of the solutions of the eigenvalue problem (denoted as strange quasi-modes) are never found in regular open cavities and resonators, and arise exclusively due to random scatterings. Although these strange QNMs belong to a discrete spectrum, they are not localized and not associated with any anomalies in the transmission. The ratio of the number of the normal QNMs to the total number of QNMs is independent of the type of disorder, and slightly deviates from the constant $sqrt{2/5}$ in rather large ranges of the strength of a single scattering and the length of the random sample.
We have developed an approach allowing us to resolve the problem of non-conventional Anderson localization emerging in bilayered periodic-on-average structures with alternating layers of right-handed and left-handed materials. Recently, it was numeri
cally discovered that in such structures with weak fluctuations of refraction indices, the localization length $L_{loc}$ can be enormously large for small wave frequencies $omega$. Within the fourth order of perturbation theory in disorder, $sigma^2 ll 1$, we derive the expression for $L_{loc}$ valid for any $omega$. In the limit $omega rightarrow 0$ one gets a quite specific dependence, $L^{-1}_{loc} propto sigma ^4 omega^8$. Our approach allows one to establish the conditions under which this effect can be observed.
