Through mountains high and valleys low: Ultracold atoms in random potentials. — •Cord Müller — Centre for Quantum Technologies, National University of Singapore

Disorder and interaction are major challenges when it comes to understanding the transport properties of quantum matter. Experiments with ultracold atoms in optical speckle potentials have reached major milestones in the past few years: from 1D Anderson localization in 2008 to 3D localisation of both fermionic and bosonic matter in 2011. I will review these recent achievements in the light of our current theoretical understanding of quantum transport in random media. Perhaps more importantly, I will discuss open questions to be addressed in the future.
