Abstract

We present quantum Lattice Boltzmann simulations of the Dirac equation for quantum-relativistic particles with random mass. By choosing zero-average random mass fluctuation, the simulations show evidence of localization and ultra-slow Sinai diffusion, due to the interference of oppositely propagating branches of the quantum wavefunction which result from random sign changes of the mass around a zero-mean. The present results indicate that the quantum lattice Boltzmann scheme may offer a viable tool for the numerical simulation of quantum-relativistic transport phenomena in topological materials.
