numerical results for the tight binding model corresponding RMT results VRH approximation for the RMT results
Comparison between:
- Actual results based on “real” matrices
- RMT results based on “artificial” matrices
- Semi-analytical VRH estimate
Ergodicity of the eigenstates
- Weak disorder (ballistic rings):
Wavefunctions are localized in mode space.
- Strong disorder (Anderson localization):
Wavefunctions are localized in real space.
