The study of disorder with ultracold atomic gases has recently attracted much attention due to the possibility of controlling disorder, interactions, and dimensionality in these systems. In this contribution, we study the Anderson localization of ultracold atoms in weak, correlated one-dimensional potentials, and we discuss how the special long-range correlations present in the speckle potentials used in current experiments affect the localization properties of single particles and non-interacting wave packets. It is known that in one dimension generally all single-particle states are localized. For weak speckle potentials, we show the existence of a series of sharp cross-overs (effective mobility edges) between regions of the single-particle energy spectrum where the localization lengths differ by orders of magnitude [1].
