The 2023 Annual Meeting of the Simons Collaboration on Localization of Waves will bring together many of the world’s top mathematicians and physicists who are working to understand and exploit the localization of waves brought about by a disordered environment or complex geometry, and related wave behaviors.
Current & Past Events
Wave Localization & Many-Body Localization in Quantum Information
Monday, Oct. 24, 2022, 8:45 a.m. through Friday, Oct. 28, 2022, 5:30 p.m.
Institut d’Etudes Scientifiques
Cargèse, France
Anderson localization of electronic states induced by the presence of a structural disorder at the atomic scale has been a long-standing theoretical and experimental puzzle. The question has pervaded other fields such as optics or cold atom physics, with experimental setups trying to achieve spatial localization of light or of atomic matter waves in Bose-Einstein condensates. This event is an opportunity to bring together researchers and students from these connected but different fields, to exchange and to cross-fertilize their approaches.
Wave Collaboration PI Meeting
Wednesday, Aug. 24, 2022, 9 a.m. through Wednesday, Aug. 24, 2022, Noon
University of Minnesota
Minneapolis, MN
A gathering of the collaboration Principal Investigators to finalize reporting and plans for the next 3 years.
Wave Collaboration: Where We Are and Where We Are Going
Monday, Aug. 22, 2022, 9 a.m. through Wednesday, Aug. 24, 2022, 5 p.m.
University of Minnesota
Minneapolis, MN
The goals of the meeting are to present the key achievements of the first 4-year stage of the project and to jumpstart the program moving forward to the second stage. The workshop will cover all fields of the Collaboration, from experimental physics to pure mathematics, and will foster the opportunities to build interdisciplinary teams for most compelling current challenges in phase space, geometry, random media, dynamics, and transport.
Mathematical Physics aspects of localization
Monday, March 28, 2022, 9 a.m. through Friday, April 1, 2022, 1:30 p.m.
Les Diablerets, Switzerland
Within the framework of the Simons collaboration on localization on waves, we organize a workshop on the mathematical aspects of localization. The topics of the conference will include mathematical progress on Anderson's model in various dimensions, applications of the landscape function, graphical representations and random walk models associated with localization/delocalization questions, and percolation perspectives on random waves.
WAVE Collaboration Annual Meeting 2022

Simons Foundation
New York City
The 2022 Simons Collaboration on Localization of Waves Annual Meeting will bring together world leading mathematicians and physicists whose work illuminates profound connections between disorder, geometric complexity, and the behavior of waves. The meeting will highlight how recent advances in mathematics yield important applications in physics involving wave localization. In particular, speakers will unveil groundbreaking results relating harmonic analysis and geometrical measure theory to cold atoms, nitride-based LEDs, and perovskites.
Workshop on Semiconductors, perovskites and 2D materials
Thursday, Dec. 9, 2021, 9 a.m. through Friday, Dec. 10, 2021, 5 p.m.
Institut Henri Poincaré
Paris, France
A workshop on the physics of disorder in semiconductors. We will focus on electronic processes in the presence of localization related to disorder in different families of semiconductor materials: perovskites, nitrides and 2D TMDCs.
Conference on Ultracold atoms, Localization, and Beyond
Tuesday, Oct. 5, 2021, 9 a.m. through Wednesday, Oct. 6, 2021, 5 p.m.
Institut Henri Poincaré
Paris, France
The quantum gas group from Institut optique organized an international conference on ultracold atoms, localization and beyond. The covered topics will be broad in the context of localization, transport, both in the presence and in the absence of interaction. Many-body localization and more generally ergodicity in interacting systems will be a major topic as it is the subject of intense research.
Wave Collaboration Lecture - Marcel Filoche
Tuesday, May 25, 2021, 9:30 a.m.
WAVE Collaboration
YouTube channel
Wave PI, Marcel Filoche from École Polytechnique will give a live-streamed lecture entitled "The landscape of wave localization in complex or disordered systems."
Research in Groups
Monday, May 17, 2021, 9 a.m. through Wednesday, May 19, 2021, 5 p.m.
Virtual Zoom Meeting
The meeting focus on the questions of localization in random media. First, the group will examine localization triggered by the randomness in the coefficients of the matrix of a divergence form elliptic operator, its relationship to the exit time of a random walk and to harmonic measure. Secondly, we will study the probabilistic properties of the landscape function in the presence of a random potential. Finally, substantial efforts will be concentrated on the Wigner-Weyl formalism with the injection of the landscape methods and the possibility of using the localization landscape to predict quantum observables.
