Mesoscopic fluctuations of the local density of states encode multifractal correlations in disorderedelectron systems. We study fluctuations of the local density of states in a superconducting state of weakly disordered films. We perform numerical computations in the framework of the disordered attractive Hubbard model on two-dimensional square lattices. Our numerical results are explained by an analytical theory. The numerical data and the theory together form a coherent picture of multifractal correlations of local density of states in weakly disordered superconducting films.

We present experimental evidence for the different mechanisms driving the fluctuations of the local density of states (LDOS) in disordered photonic systems. We establish a clear link between the microscopic structure of the material and the frequency correlation function of LDOS accessed by a near-field hyperspectral imaging technique. We show, in particular, that short- and long-range frequency correlations of LDOS are controlled by different physical processes (multiple or single scattering processes, respectively) that can be---to some extent---manipulated independently. We also demonstrate that the single scattering contribution to LDOS fluctuations is sensitive to subwavelength features of the material and, in particular, to the correlation length of its dielectric function. Our work paves a way towards a complete control of statistical properties of disordered photonic systems, allowing for designing materials with predefined correlations of LDOS.

A concise, somewhat personal, review of the problem of superfluidity and quantum criticality in regular and disordered interacting Bose systems is given, concentrating on general features and important symmetries that are exhibited in different parts of the phase diagram, and that govern the different possible types of critical behavior. A number of exact results for various insulating phase boundaries, which may be used to constrain the results of numerical simulations, can be derived using large rare region type arguments. The nature of the insulator-superfluid transition is explored through general scaling arguments, exact model calculations in one dimension, numerical results in two dimensions, and approximate renormalization group results in higher dimensions. Experiments on He-4 adsorbed in porous Vycor glass, on thin film superconductors, and magnetically trapped atomic vapors in a periodic optical potential, are used to illustrate many of the concepts.
Our general interest is in self-consistent-field (scf) theories of disordered fermions. They generate physically relevant sub-ensembles (scf-ensembles) within a given Altland-Zirnbauer class. We are motivated to investigate such ensembles (i) by the possibility to discover new fixed points due to (long-range) interactions; (ii) by analytical scf-theories that rely on partial self-consistency approximations awaiting a numerical validation; (iii) by the overall importance of scf-theories for the understanding of complex interaction-mediated phenomena in terms of effective single-particle pictures. In this paper we present an efficient, parallelized implementation solving scf-problems with spatially local fields by applying a kernel-polynomial approach. Our first application is the Boguliubov-deGennes (BdG) theory of the attractive-$U$ Hubbard model in the presence of on-site disorder; the scf-fields are the particle density $n(mathbf{r})$ and the gap function $Delta(mathbf{r})$. For this case, we reach system sizes unprecedented in earlier work. They allow us to study phenomena emerging at scales substantially larger than the lattice constant, such as the interplay of multifractality and interactions, or the formation of superconducting islands. For example, we observe that the coherence length exhibits a non-monotonic behavior with increasing disorder strength already at moderate $U$. With respect to methodology our results are important because we establish that partial self-consistency (energy-only) schemes as typically employed in analytical approaches tend to miss qualitative physics such as island formation.
We study effects of nonmagnetic impurities on the competition between the superconducting and electron-hole pairing. We show that disorder can result in coexistence of these two types of ordering in a uniform state, even when in clean materials they are mutually exclusive.
It is shown that previous arguments leading to the equality $z=d$ ($d$ being the spatial dimensionality) for the dynamical exponent describing the Bose glass to superfluid transition may break down, as apparently seen in recent simulations (Ref. cite {Baranger}). The key observation is that the major contribution to the compressibility, which remains finite through the transition and was predicted to scale as $kappa sim |delta|^{(d-z) u}$ (where $delta$ is the deviation from criticality and $ u$ is the correlation length exponent) comes from the analytic part, not the singular part of the free energy, and therefore is not restricted by any conventional scaling hypothesis.
