1204.1214 (Frank Schlawin et al.)

Bunching and anti-bunching of localised particles in disordered media    [PDF]

Frank Schlawin, Nicolas Cherroret, Andreas Buchleitner
We consider pairs of non-interacting quantum particles transmitted through a disordered medium, with emphasis on the role of their quantum statistics. It is shown that particle number correlations measured in transmission are strikingly sensitive to the quantum nature of the particles when they undergo Anderson localisation, due to bosonic bunching and fermionic anti-bunching in the scattering channels of the medium. The case of distinguishable particles is also discussed.
