✦ Synopsis
The escape of an electron from a localized state in a quantum well with one or several surrounding barriers is analyzed using the local Larmor clock approach. We show that two time scales can be involved in the escape time problem, such as in the case of a scattering configuration. The particular example of a potential well with a hard wall condition on one side, i.e. escaping through only one open channel, is investigated, and the two time components are calculated analytically. One of the time components is shown to coincide with the lifetime expression obtained with a different approach, in the case of an opaque barrier, at an energy close to the bound level in the well.

A simple proof of Anderson localization is obtained. This is done by giving a bound on the averaged time evolution and then ruling out the existence of any continuous spectrum for large disorder with the help of the RAGE theorem. Furthermore the decoupling lemma of Aizenman and Molchanov is extended

We argue that the Thouless criterion for localization is universal. Because the Thouless number 6 is the ratio of the width and spacing of the modes of the sample, it can be adjusted by changing the macroscopic characteristics of the sample, such as the transverse dimensions, the reflectivity at the
