Abstract
We investigate the outbreak of anomalous quantum wavefunction amplitudes in a one-dimensional tight-binding lattice featuring correlated diagonal disorder. Such rogue-wave-like behavior is fostered by a competition between localization and mobility. The effective correlation length of the disorder is ultimately responsible for bringing the local disorder strength to a minimum, fuelling the occurrence of extreme events of much higher amplitudes, specially when compared to the case of uncorrelated disorder. Our findings are valid for a class of discrete one-dimensional systems and reveal profound aspects of the role of randomness in rogue-wave generation.
