<div>Ultracold atomic gases are presently being used to study a wide range of phenomena previously observed only in condensed matter systems. These developments are based on the capability, in ultracold gases, to finely control
many aspects of the physics, including interparticle interactions and disorder. Recent experiments and theoretical results on Anderson localization of light in condensed samples show that diffusive transport is strongly suppressed and that a regime of anomalous
diffusion develops dynamically. Proximity of the light localization threshold can be detected through time evolution of either forward or diffusely scattered light. In this presentation I give an overview of the general subject and the current interest in it,
including the attractive features of studying both matter wave localization and light localization in ultracold atomic gases. This research is supported by the National Science Foundation </div>
