Abstract

It is a popular belief that in one-dimensional (1D) systems the presence of any amount of disorder would lead to localized eigenstates - the so-called Anderson localization [1]. In contrast, a few theoretical counter-examples show that an amount of correlations in a disordered potential can lead to long-range transport. The prototypical case is the Random Dimer Model (RDM) [2] where in the context of a tight-binding Hamiltonian pairs of adjacent energy levels are assigned at random, leading to two-site correlations in an otherwise random lattice.
