Dedication

Philip Warren Anderson, or “Phil” as he was known to his friends and colleagues, passed away on March 29, 2020. Arguably one of the most creative and influential theoretical physicists of the last half of the 20th century, Anderson left his imprint liberally across the entire field of condensed matter, especially in the areas of disorder and localization, local moments and quantum magnetism, superconductivity and superfluidity, spin glasses, high Tc, to name a few. His influence extended to other branches of physics as well (e.g. Anderson-Higgs mechanism in particle physics). His seminal 1958 paper “Absence of diffusion in certain random lattices”, for which he shared the 1977 Nobel Prize in Physics, essentially created the field that has come to be known as “Anderson Localization”. His ideas were picked up in the UK and ricocheted back to the US two decades later, spawning Anderson’s next seminal contribution in the field, the scaling theory of localization in 1979. This conference series came into being in 1984, as the field grew and engaged scientists all across the globe. It is therefore highly appropriate, and with a deep sense of gratitude that Localisation 2020 is dedicated to Anderson’s memory.
