Summary

A conductance spectrum recovered a hidden hyperuniformity parameter from correlated disorder in a quantum-transport model.

The authors modeled spinless fermions in a one-dimensional chain whose disorder suppresses long-wavelength fluctuations. The sharp boundary between high- and low-transmission regions moved primarily with the stealthiness parameter, while disorder strength mostly changed transmission magnitude. Comparing measured and target spectra therefore produced a clear minimum near the hidden parameter, suggesting transport can fingerprint correlations when the microscopic arrangement is inaccessible.
