Abstract
The equivalence between the trapping problem for randomly moving objects and the time evolution of a quantum mechanical particle in disordered media is sketched. For static traps, the spectral properties of the corresponding Hamiltonian are shown to determine the survival probability of the reactants. Effects of an external drift are considered using the non-Hermitian generalization of the localization problem.
