Bunching and anti-bunching of localised particles in disordered media

Abstract

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.
