Quantum diffusion and eigenfunction delocalization in a random band matrix model

From MaRDI portal




Abstract: We consider Hermitian and symmetric random band matrices H in dgeq1 dimensions. The matrix elements Hxy, indexed by , are independent, uniformly distributed random variables if absxy is less than the band width W, and zero otherwise. We prove that the time evolution of a quantum particle subject to the Hamiltonian H is diffusive on time scales tllWd/3. We also show that the localization length of an arbitrarily large majority of the eigenvectors is larger than a factor Wd/6 times the band width. All results are uniform in the size absLambda of the matrix.
