dc.descriptionRecently it has been suggested that fermions whose hopping amplitude is quenched to extremely low values provide a convenient source of local disorder for lattice bosonic systems realized in current experiment on ultracold atoms. Here we investigate the phase diagram of such systems, which provide the experimental realization of a Bose-Hubbard model whose local potentials are randomly extracted from a binary distribution. Adopting a site-dependent Gutzwiller description of the state of the system, we address one- and two-dimensional lattices and obtain results agreeing with previous findings, as far as the compressibility of the system is concerned. We discuss the expected peaks in the experimental excitation spectrum of the system, related to the incompressible phases, and the superfluid character of the {\it partially compressible phases} characterizing the phase diagram of systems with binary disorder. In our investigation we make use of several analytical results whose derivation is described in the appendices, and whose validity is not limited to the system under concern.
