N2 - We have observed exponentially localized wave function of ultracold atoms released into a one-dimensional waveguide in the presence of a controlled disorder created by laser speckle. We present this result, and elaborate on the significance of 1D Anderson localization, and on the prospects of extending that type of study to quantum gases in higher dimensions (2D and 3D) and with controlled interactions. We will also point out its relevance to the rapidly evolving domain of quantum simulators to study difficult problems of Condensed Matter.
