This allows us to study experimentally the disorder vs anisotropy phase diagram of the Anderson metal-insulator transition. Numerical and experimental data compare very well with each other and a theoretical analysis based on the self-consistent theory of localization correctly discribes the observed behavior, illustrating the flexibility of cold atom experiments for the study of transport phenomena in complex quantum systems.Show less >
