摘要：Anderson's Nobel Prize-winning work showed that a random environment can localize a quantum state for all times. In general dimensions, and without assuming sufficient regularity of the single-site distribution, this can be rigorously shown only via an intricate multi-scale analysis.

In one dimension, the positivity of the Lyapunov exponent that can be shown using Furstenberg's Theorem has for a long time been expected to imply Anderson localization rather directly. However, for singular distributions such as the Bernoulli case, no direct proof was available and a multi-scale analysis was still necessary. This talk will explain the history of this problem and its proof, the obstacles in finding a direct path from Furstenberg to Anderson, and recent work that does in fact find the desired direct path and opens the door for new results that were previously inaccessible in situations where no multi-scale analysis is available.
