# gst: increase transport with disorder

<< Overcoming the detrimental effect of disorder at the nanoscale is very hard since disorder induces localization and an exponential suppression of transport efficiency. (AA) unveil novel and robust quantum transport regimes achievable in nanosystems by exploiting long-range hopping. (They) demonstrate that in a 1D disordered nanostructure in the presence of long-range hopping, transport efficiency, after decreasing exponentially with disorder at first, is then enhanced by disorder  [disorder-enhanced transport regime] until, counterintuitively, it reaches a disorder-independent transport regime, persisting over several orders of disorder magnitude in realistic systems. >>️

# gst: influence of disorder on the spreading and entanglement properties of coined quantum walks.

AA << investigate the influence of disorder on the spreading and entanglement properties of coined quantum walks. Specifically, (AA) consider quantum walks on the line and explore the effects of quenched disorder in the coin operations. (They) find that coin disorder alters the usual ballistic transport properties of coined quantum walks considerably and yields an extremely slow dynamics with strong evidence for localization behavior. (They) investigate this slow dynamics by comparing different properties of the walker occupation probability with the standard Hadamard walk. (They) find that the walker distribution, and a number of properties associated with it, are significantly altered by the coin disorder. Special focus is given to the influence of coin disorder on entanglement properties. (AA) observe that generically, coin disorder decreases the coin-walker entanglement. The behavior of the entanglement properties further supports the premise that coin disorder induces localization in coined quantum walks. >>

# gst: chaotic Griffiths phase in neuron map networks.

<< ️Griffiths phases provide a mechanism for sustaining critical dynamics over extended parameter regions without fine-tuning to an isolated transition point. This behavior has been mainly associated with structural heterogeneity in complex networks. >>

<< ️Here (AA) show that quenched heterogeneity in local parameters can generate a chaotic Griffiths phase in a network of map-based neurons. (They) study globally coupled Chialvo maps with quenched disorder in a local neuronal parameter, thereby isolating intrinsic parameter disorder from topological disorder. >>

<< ️As the coupling strength is varied, a chaotic Griffiths phase emerges between desynchronized and coherent chaotic dynamics, characterized by intermittent formation and breakup of neuronal clusters and large fluctuations in the fraction of clustered neurons. Within this regime, cluster sizes exhibit power-law distributions with coupling-dependent exponents, providing evidence of critical behavior over a finite parameter interval. >> 

<< ️The chaotic Griffiths phase is absent in the homogeneous limit and broadens progressively as the degree of parameter heterogeneity increases. (AA) further introduce topological disorder through small-world connectivity and find that its combined action with local parameter heterogeneity substantially extends the chaotic Griffiths phase. In both globally coupled and small-world networks, the number of positive Lyapunov exponents displays anomalous scaling with system size. >> 

<< ️These results demonstrate that intrinsic dynamical heterogeneity constitutes an independent mechanism for generating chaotic Griffiths phases and that its interplay with structural disorder enhances extended criticality in neuronal networks. >>

# gst: chaos controlled and disorder driven phase transitions by breaking permutation symmetry

<< Introducing disorder in a system typically breaks symmetries and can introduce dramatic changes in its properties such as localization. At the same time, the clean system can have distinct many-body features depending on how chaotic it is. >>

<< In this work the effect of permutation symmetry breaking by disorder is studied in a system which has a controllable and deterministic regular to chaotic transition. >>

<< Results indicate a continuous phase transition from an area-law to a volume-law entangled phase irrespective of whether there is chaos or not, as the strength of the disorder is increased. The critical disorder strength obtained by finite size scaling, indicate a strong dependence on whether the clean system is regular or chaotic to begin with. >>

<< Additionally, (AA) find that a relatively small disorder is seen to be sufficient to delocalize a chaotic system. >>

# gst: effective-medium theory for elastic systems with correlated disorder.

<< ️Correlated structures are intimately connected to intriguing phenomena exhibited by a variety of disordered systems such as soft colloidal gels, bio-polymer networks and colloidal suspensions near a shear jamming transition. The universal critical behavior of these systems near the onset of rigidity is often described by traditional approaches as the coherent potential approximation - a versatile version of effective-medium theory that nevertheless have hitherto lacked key ingredients to describe disorder spatial correlations. >>

<< ️Here (AA) propose a multi-purpose generalization of the coherent potential approximation to describe the mechanical behavior of elastic networks with spatially-correlated disorder. (They) apply (their) theory to a simple rigidity-percolation model for colloidal gels and study the effects of correlations in both the critical point and the overall scaling behavior. (AA) find that although the presence of spatial correlations (mimicking attractive interactions of gels) shifts the critical packing fraction to lower values, suggesting sub-isostatic behavior, the critical coordination number of the associated network remains isostatic. More importantly, (AA) discuss how their theory can be employed to describe a large variety of systems with spatially-correlated disorder. >>

# gst: collective drift and pinning in active rotator networks with Kuramoto coupling and mixed-sign feedback disorder.

<< ️Active rotator models provide a minimal phase description of excitable and oscillatory systems, and have long been used to study mutual entrainment, synchronization, and collective transitions. >>

<< ️Here, (AA) investigate fully connected active rotator networks with Kuramoto coupling, where a common intrinsic drive competes with local feedback amplitudes drawn from a zero-mean Gaussian distribution. This produces a competition between local pinning and collective phase alignment. >>

<< ️Using mean absolute late-time drift and the fractions of positive and negative drifting oscillators, (They) construct numerical regime maps in the feedback-disorder-coupling plane. At weak coupling, increasing the feedback disorder strength suppresses drift, while stronger coupling can restore positive late-time drift when feedback disorder is not too strong. (They) interpret these regimes using analytical limits for the uncoupled and coherent strong-coupling cases. >>

<< ️(They) also examine finite-size effects and zero-mean distributed intrinsic frequencies. Together, these results show that mixed-sign local feedback alone can reshape the balance between pinning and drifting in coupled active rotator networks, even when the intrinsic drive is homogeneous. >>

<< Static or frozen disorder, characterised by spatial heterogeneities, influences diverse complex systems, encompassing many-body systems, equilibrium and nonequilibrium states of matter, intricate network topologies, biological systems, and wave-matter interactions. >>

AA << investigate elastic wave propagation in a one-dimensional heterogeneous medium with diagonal disorder. (They) examine two types of complex elastic materials: one with static disorder, where mass density randomly varies in space, and the other with evolving disorder, featuring random variations in both space and time. (AA) results indicate that evolving disorder enhances the propagation speed of Gaussian pulses compared to static disorder. Additionally, (They) demonstrate that the acceleration effect also occurs when the medium evolves chaotically rather than randomly over time. The latter establishes that evolving randomness is not a unique prerequisite for observing wavefront acceleration, introducing the concept of chaotic acceleration in complex media. >>️

# gst: localization pattern of a mobile impurity in the disordered Kitaev chain.

<< (AA) study a mobile impurity coupled to a Kitaev chain with chemical-potential disorder and ask whether the impurity behavior distinguishes different regimes of the host system. Exact diagonalization calculations for small periodic chains shows that in the deep topological regime the impurity localizes only partially, with a smooth increase of IPR_d, whereas in the deep trivial regime it undergoes a much sharp transition to nearly single-site localization. >>

<< For open chains at strong interaction, DMRG shows edge-localized impurity density near the Kitaev sweet spot. With increasing chemical potential, the impurity weight spreads into the bulk and eventually becomes almost uniform. (They) explain the edge preference analytically from the Majorana-dimer structure: a bulk impurity rearranges two neighboring dimers, while an edge impurity affects only one. >>

<< Disorder competes with this clean edge bias and can pin the impurity in the bulk. Thus, the impurity is sensitive to the regime of the host system, although (AA) do not find a strict one-to-one correspondence between the impurity localization pattern and the host topology. Instead, the disorder-averaged behavior suggests only an indirect correlation between impurity localization and the underlying phase of the chain. >>

# gst: energy transport and chaos in a one-dimensional disordered nonlinear stub lattice

<< ️(AA) investigate energy propagation in a one-dimensional stub lattice in the presence of both disorder and nonlinearity. In the periodic case, the stub lattice hosts two dispersive bands separated by a flat band; however, (They) show that sufficiently strong disorder fills all intermediate band gaps. By mapping the two-dimensional parameter space of disorder and nonlinearity, (AA) identify three distinct dynamical regimes (weak chaos, strong chaos, and self-trapping) through numerical simulations of initially localized wave packets. >>

<< ️When disorder is strong enough to close the frequency gaps, the results closely resemble those obtained in the one-dimensional disordered discrete nonlinear Schrödinger equation and Klein-Gordon lattice model. In particular, subdiffusive spreading is observed in both the weak and strong chaos regimes, with the second moment m_2 of the norm distribution scaling as m_2 ∝ t^0.33 and m_2 ∝ t^0.5, respectively. The system’s chaotic behavior follows a similar trend, with the finite-time maximum Lyapunov exponent Λ decaying as Λ ∝ t^−0.25 and Λ ∝ t^−0.3. For moderate disorder strengths, i.e., near the point of gap closing, (They) find that the presence of small frequency gaps does not exert any noticeable influence on the spreading behavior. >>

<< ️(AA) findings extend the characterization of nonlinear disordered lattices in both weak and strong chaos regimes to other network geometries, such as the stub lattice, which serves as a representative flat-band system. >>

# gst: localization of active particles on random arrays of parallel filaments.

<< ️Quenched disorder in the environment can fundamentally alter transport dynamics in both active and passive systems. (AA) explore how disordered arrays of filaments govern the distribution of intermittently moving particles which switch between diffusive and processive transport. >>

<<️ Motivated by the mixed-polarity arrangements of parallel microtubules observed in mammalian dendrites, (They) show that such arrays tend to result in localization of particles at regions of convergent filament orientation. In the rapid attachment-detachment limit, the disordered system can be described by a noisy one-dimensional effective energy landscape, whose structure is approximated by a random walk. >>

<< ️The depth and width of wells on this landscape are expressed as a function of the transport kinetics and system geometry. Localization is shown to be strongest at intermediate run-lengths, where biased transport persists long enough to sense the quenched filament polarity but not so long as to facilitate escape from local traps. >>

<< ️These (AA) results demonstrate robust localization of particles moving on random filament networks, highlighting the emergent spatial organization that arises from an interplay of active transport and quenched disorder. >>

# gst: disorder can induce and modulate topological structures

 << One of the boons of topological insulators is that their conducting edge states are protected from disorder in the material’s structure. Turn up the disorder too much, however, and these topological features are usually lost. In 2018, experiments demonstrated the opposite behavior: in so-called topological Anderson insulators (TAIs), the addition of disorder can generate protected edge states, turning a trivial insulator into a topological one. Now, a team (..) reports a new type of TAI realized in a photonic crystal. Their experiments show that the crystal exhibits a wealth of topological phenomena that hadn’t been seen previously. >>

# ecol: stabilization of macroscopic dynamics by fine-grained disorder in many-species ecosystems.

<< ️Models for complex, heterogeneous systems such as ecological communities vary in the level of organization they describe. When the dynamics at the species level is unknown, one typically resorts to heuristic "macroscopic" models that capture relationships among a few degrees of freedom, e.g., groups of similar species, and commonly display out-of-equilibrium dynamics. These models, however, exactly reflect the species-level "microscopic" dynamics only when microscopic heterogeneity can be neglected. >>

<< ️Here, (AA) address the robustness of such macroscopic descriptions to the addition of disordered microscopic interactions. While disorder is known to destabilize equilibria at the microscopic level, leading to asynchronous (typically chaotic) fluctuations, (They) show that it can also stabilize synchronous species fluctuations driven by macroscopic structure. >>

<< ️(AA) analytically find the conditions for the existence of heterogeneity-stabilized equilibria and relate their stability to a mismatch in the time scales of individual species. This may shed light on the empirical observation that many-species ecosystems often appear stable despite highly diverse and potentially destabilizing interactions between species and functional groups. >>

# gst: topological phase transition under infinite randomness

<< In clean and weakly disordered systems, topological and trivial phases having a finite bulk energy gap can transit to each other via a quantum critical point. In presence of strong disorder, both the nature of the phases and the associated criticality can fundamentally change. >>

Here AA << investigate topological properties of a strongly disordered fermionic chain where the bond couplings are drawn from normal probability distributions which are defined by characteristic standard deviations. Using numerical strong disorder renormalization group methods along with analytical techniques, (AA) show that the competition between fluctuation scales renders both the trivial and topological phases gapless with Griffiths like rare regions. >>

<< Moreover, the transition between these phases is solely governed by the fluctuation scales, rather than the means, rendering the critical behavior to be determined by an infinite randomness fixed point with an irrational central charge. (AA) work points to a host of novel topological phases and atypical topological phase transitions which can be realized in systems under strong disorder. >>

# gst: ordered patches cap the stability of disordered frameworks.

<< ️Structural disorder can stabilize frameworks against pressure-induced failure, yet the ordered regions it contains limit this gain. (AA) show that, in rigid-jointed frames under hydrostatic pressure, an ensemble containing arbitrarily large patches of a crystal at positive density, whose centres carry a scaled crystal prestress, cannot stay linearly stable once those patches are stressed beyond the crystal's threshold for localizable instabilities. >>

<< ️A homogeneous loss of positive definiteness while all Bloch modes, including the acoustic limit, remain stable cannot localize, leaving a window for stabilization. Extending an acoustic criterion to prestress, (AA) show for all point groups that such a window requires a strain that keeps the crystal's symmetry. Unless the patches are shielded from stress, disorder cannot protect a crystal against a failure that breaks its symmetry, and protects a cubic crystal at most against volume collapse. >>

<< ️In two-dimensional Truchet frames, planted ordered domains bring the threshold within 1% of the bound, and correlations short of long-range order localize failure on ordered clusters. Across 876 slender-strut nets, 798 fail first by a localizable instability; the other 78 have a median window of 7.6%. Stability gained through disorder is capped by the localizable instabilities of the local order it permits. >>
