Theoretical analysis demonstrates logarithmic quantization of localization length in disordered quantum systems, indicating fundamental connections between quantum transport and spacetime geometry.
Understanding the spatial confinement of quantum waves in disordered media—the cornerstone of Anderson localization—remains a fundamental challenge at the intersection of condensed matter physics and quantum chaos. Here, we present the first exact, analytically solvable chaotic framework directly formulated via Takenaka-Malmquist bases, establishing that spatial localization length in disordered potential landscapes undergoes discrete topological quantization. By mapping phase-locking resonances within chaotic potentials onto a prime hierarchy K, we derive a closed-form, parameter-free universal localization law, L(K) = L0 for K = 2,3,5,7,...,251, lnK wherein the macroscopic spatial extent of localized quantum states scales inversely with the chaotic ca- pacity ln K, anchored solely by the fundamental reference scale L0 at K = 2. Rigorously benchmarking this formula against observational data across nine distinct disorder regimes from the landmark one- dimensional Bose–Einstein condensate (BEC) experiment by Billy et al. [Nature 453, 891 (2008)] [1], the theory quantitatively reproduces the experimental localization lengths without any free fitting param- eters, achieving an average relative error of just 2.3%. Crucially, this scaling relation holds seamlessly across two orders of magnitude in K up to K = 251, accurately predicting the minimal localization length (0.236 mm) with sub-percent precision (<0.1%). Remarkably, this logarithmic hierarchy mir- rors the universal algebraic basis governing black hole horizon ringdown dissipation [2], completing an axiomatic triad connecting gauge-theoretic mass gaps (∆m = m0 ln K ) [3], gravitational dissipation (νth ∝ 1/ ln K), and quantum transport (L(K) ∝ 1/ ln K). By providing parameter-free empirical validation of discrete spectral chaos [4], our results establish a conceptual framework for topologically digitalized wave engineering, overcome the critical power and miniaturization bottlenecks of optical lat- tice clocks to enable satellite-borne “Ultra-GPS”, and achieve the cross-domain unification of quantum transport and spacetime geometry.
