Disorder physics in atomic mixtures — •Oleksandr Fialko and Klaus Ziegler — Universität Augsburg

Mixtures of different atomic species represent complex quantum systems with competing degrees of freedom. They can be created either by filling two types atoms in an optical lattice [1,2] or by allowing an atomic cloud to form molecules due to attractive interatomic interaction [3,4]. The competing degrees of freedom can lead to competing quantum phases, phase transitions, phase separation, and correlation induced disorder. We discuss various systems with elastic and inelastic scattering, quantum phases, and the possibility of Anderson localization.
