New aspects of electron transport in quantum wires with Lévy-type disorder are described. We study the weak scattering and the incoherent sequential tunneling in one-dimensional quantum systems characterized by a tempered Lévy stable distribution of spacing between scatterers or tunneling barriers. The generalized Dorokhov–Mello–Pereyra–Kumar equation contains the tempered fractional derivative on wire length. The solution describes the evolution from the anomalous conductance distribution to the Dorokhov function for a long wire. For sequential tunneling, average values and relative fluctuations of conductance and resistance are calculated for different parameters of spatial distributions. A tempered Lévy stable distribution of spacing between barriers leads to a transition in conductance scaling.

Interacting quantum systems in the chaotic domain are at the core of various ongoing studies of many-body physics, ranging from the scrambling of quantum information to the onset of thermalization. We propose a minimum model for chaos that can be experimentally realized with cold atoms trapped in one-dimensional multi-well potentials. We explore the emergence of chaos as the number of particles is increased, starting with as few as two, and as the number of wells is increased, ranging from a double well to a multi-well Kronig-Penney-like system. In this way, we illuminate the narrow boundary between integrability and chaos in a highly tunable few-body system. We show that the competition between the particle interactions and the periodic structure of the confining potential reveals subtle indications of quantum chaos for 3 particles, while for 4 particles stronger signatures are seen. The analysis is performed for bosonic particles and could also be extended to distinguishable fermions.

These notes are based on a series of three lectures given at the Les Houches summer school on ’Integrability in Atomic and Condensed Matter Physics’ in August 2018. They provide an introduction into the unusual transport properties of integrable models in the linear response regime focussing, in particular, on the spin-1/21/2 XXZ spin chain.
