We review various methods for measuring delocalization in light-harvesting complexes. Direct relations between inverse participation ratios (IPRs) and entanglement measures are derived. The B850 ring from the LH2 complex in Rhodopseudomonas acidophila is studied. By analysing electronic energy transfer dynamics in the B850 ring using different metrics for quantifying excitonic delocalization, w...

We study localization and delocalization in a class of non-hermitean Hamiltonians inspired by the problem of vortex pinning in superconductors. In various simplified models we are able to obtain analytic descriptions, in particular of the non-perturbative emergence of a forked structure (the appearance of “wings”) in the density of states. We calculate how the localization length diverges at th...

Intramolecular dimer radical anions of [3n]cyclophanes generated by gamma-ray irradiation in low-temperature glassy matrices showed an absorption band attributable to charge resonance around 936-1210 nm, from which the stabilization energy of the dimer radical anions were analyzed on the basis of pi-electron delocalization over two benzene rings and the damping factor (beta) was estimated to be...

We present resonant inelastic x-ray scattering (RIXS) and x-ray emission spectroscopy (XES) results which suggest Kondo-like aspects in the delocalization of 4f electrons in Gd metal to 113 GPa. Analysis of the RIXS data reveal a prolonged and continuous process throughout the entire pressure range, so that the volume collapse transition at 59 GPa is only part of the delocalization phenomenon. ...

We prove a finite volume lower bound of the order √ logN on the delocalization of a disordered continuous spin model (resp. effective interface model) in d = 2 in a box of size N . The interaction is assumed to be massless, possibly anharmonic and dominated from above by a Gaussian. Disorder is entering via a linear source term. For this model delocalization with the same rate is proved to take...

We address the delocalization of low dimensional D-branes and NS-branes when they are a part of a higher dimensional BPS black brane, and the homogeneity of the resulting horizon. We show that the effective delocalization of such branes is a classical effect that occurs when localized branes are brought together. Thus, the fact that the few known solutions with inhomogeneous horizons are highly...

We develop a scaling theory of interaction-induced delocalization few-particle states in disordered quantum systems. In the absence interactions, all single-particle are localized $d<3$, while $d \geq 3$ there is critical disorder below which delocalized. hypothesize that such transition occurs for $n$-particle bound $d$ dimensions when $d+n\geq 4$. Exact calculations disorder-averaged Greens f...
