The understanding of disordered quantum systems is still far from being complete, despite many decades of research on a variety of physical systems. In this review we discuss how Bose–Einstein condensates of ultracold atoms in disordered potentials have opened a new window for studying fundamental phenomena related to disorder. In particular, we direct our attention to recent experimental studies on Anderson localization and on the interplay of disorder and weak interactions. These realize a very promising starting point for a deeper understanding of the complex behaviour of interacting, disordered systems.

• Quantum simulation of the Hubbard model with ultracold fermions in optical lattices (2018, unknown): “Optical design and interference of several laser beams permit to create a wide variety of controlled potentials, including deep traps and narrow barriers [76], periodic potentials in various crystalline configurations [31,32,33,34,35,36,37,38,39,40,41,42], as well as quasi-periodic lattices [77,78,7”
