Transport coefficients for bosonic and fermionic strongly correlated, disordered nanowires

Cold lattice gases offer an isolated platform for measuring the intrinsic transport properties of quantum systems. We propose a series of transport measurements in both bosons ($^{87}$Rb) and fermions ($^{40}$K) to study the relationship between mass, heat, and spin transport coefficients. We present a scheme for isolating a system of 1D tubes within a 3D optical lattice system using a tightly focused beam. Tunable perturbations, interactions, and disorder allow for the study of transport properties of non-trivial phases, e.g., glassy and asymptotically localized states.
