A generalization of the Aubry-Andre-Harper (AAH) model is developed, containing a tunable phase shift between on-site and off-diagonal modulations. A localization transition can be induced by varying just this phase, keeping all other model parameters constant. The complete localization phase diagram is obtained. Unlike the original AAH model, the generalized model can exhibit a transition between topologically trivial bandstructures and topologically non-trivial bandstructures containing protected boundary states. These boundary states can be pumped across the system by adiabatic variations in the phase shift parameter. The model can also be used to demonstrate the phenomenon of adiabatic pumping breakdown due to localization.

We present a quantitative analysis of two-particle interaction effects in generalized, one-dimensional Aubry-Andre-Harper models with the Fermi energy placed in one of the band gaps. We investigate systems with periodic as well as open boundary condi
tions; for the latter focusing on the number of edge states and the boundary charge. Both these observables are important for the classification of noninteracting topological systems. In our first class of models the unit cell structure stems from periodically modulated single-particle parameters. In the second it results from the spatial modulation of the two-particle interaction. For both types of models, we find that the single-particle band gaps are renormalized by the interaction in accordance with expectations employing general field theoretical arguments. While interaction induced effective edge states can be found in the local single-particle spectral function close to a boundary, the characteristics of the boundary charge are not modified by the interaction. This indicates that our results for the Rice-Mele and Su-Schriefer-Heeger model [Phys. Rev. B 102, 085122 (2020)] are generic and can be found in lattice models with more complex unit cells as well.
Here we study the phase diagram of the Aubry-Andre-Harper model in the presence of strong interactions as the strength of the quasiperiodic potential is varied. Previous work has established the existence of many-body localized phase at large potenti
al strength; here, we find a rich phase diagram in the delocalized regime characterized by spin transport and unusual correlations. We calculate the non-equilibrium steady states of a boundary-driven strongly interacting Aubry-Andre-Harper model by employing the time-evolving block decimation algorithm on matrix product density operators. From these steady states, we extract spin transport as a function of system size and quasiperiodic potential strength. This data shows spin transport going from superdiffusive to subdiffusive well before the localization transition; comparing to previous results, we also find that the transport transition is distinct from a transition observed in the speed of operator growth in the model. We also investigate the correlation structure of the steady state and find an unusual oscillation pattern for intermediate values of the potential strength. The unusual spin transport and quantum correlation structure suggest multiple dynamical phases between the much-studied thermal and many-body-localized phases.
We investigate the localization properties of a spin chain with an antiferromagnetic nearest-neighbour coupling, subject to an external quasiperiodic on-site magnetic field. The quasiperiodic modulation interpolates between two paradigmatic models, n
amely the Aubry-Andre and the Fibonacci models. We find that stronger many-body interactions extend the ergodic phase in the former, whereas they shrink it in the latter. Furthermore, the many-body localization transition points at the two limits of the interpolation appear to be continuously connected along the deformation. As a result, the position of the many-body localization transition depends on the interaction strength for an intermediate degree of deformation of the quasiperiodic modulation. Moreover, in the region of parameter space where the single-particle spectrum contains both localized and extended states, many-body interactions induce an anomalous effect: weak interactions localize the system, whereas stronger interactions enhance ergodicity. We map the models localization phase diagram using the decay of the quenched spin imbalance in relatively long chains. This is accomplished employing a time-dependent variational approach applied to a matrix product state decomposition of the many-body state. Our model serves as a rich playground for testing many-body localization under tunable potentials.
We report on the design, fabrication and optical characterization of bichromatic photonic crystal cavities in thin silicon membranes, with resonances around 1550 nm wavelength. The cavity designs are based on a recently proposed photonic crystal impl
ementation of the Aubry-Andre-Harper bichromatic potential, which relies on the superposition of two one-dimensional lattices with non-integer ratio between the periodicity constants. In photonic crystal nanocavities, this confinement mechanism is such that optimized figures of merit can be straightforwardly achieved, in particular an ultra-high-Q factor and diffraction-limited mode volume. Several silicon membrane photonic crystal nanocavities with Q-factors in the 1 million range have been realized, as evidenced by resonant scattering. The generality of these designs and their easy implementation and scalability make these results particularly interesting for realizing highly performing photonic nanocavities on different materials platforms and operational wavelengths.
In this work, the non-Markovian dynamics of excitation in the generalized Aubry-Andr{e}-Harper model coupled with an Ohmic-type environment is discussed in detail by evaluating the survival probability and inverse participation ratio of the state of
system. Contrary to the common belief that localization will preserve the information of the initial state in the system against dissipation into the environment, this study found that strong localization can enhance the dissipation of quantum information. Through a thorough examination, we show that the non-Markovianity induced by the memory effect of the environment was responsible for this behavior. Under this circumstance, the exchange of energy between the system and its environment may lead to interference in the reduced energy levels of the system, that are also responsible for the stability of the system. In term of strong localization, the difference between reduced energy levels will become large, to the degree that the environment cannot feed back enough energy into the system. As a result, the initial-state information will eventually dissipate. This explanation was verified herein by an increase of the coupling strength between the system and its environment, which greatly reduced the decaying of quantum information.
