Quantum Phases and Phase Transitions in Disordered Low-Dimensional Systems: Thin Film Superconductors, Bilayer Two-Dimensional Electron Systems, and One-Dimensional Optical Lattices

The study of various quantum phases and the phase transitions between them in low-dimensional disordered systems has been a central theme of recent developments of condensed matter physics. Examples include disordered thin film superconductors, whose critical temperature and density of states can be...
