In this paper, we explore quantum criticality in the disordered Aubry-Andr\'{e} (AA) model. For the pure AA model, it is well-known that it hosts a critical point separating an extended phase and a localized insulator phase by tuning the…

In our bouncer-walker model a quantum is a nonequilibrium steady-state maintained by a permanent throughput of energy. Specifically, we consider a "particle" as a bouncer whose oscillations are phase-locked with those of the energy-momentum…

Experimentally there exist many materials with first-order phase transitions at finite temperature that display quantum criticality. Classically, a strain-energy density coupling is known to drive first-order transitions in compressible…
Critical eigenstates are usually identified through wave-function geometry in a chosen basis, such as participation ratios, multifractal spectra, or finite-size scaling. Here we formulate criticality instead as a dual-space Lyapunov…
