We introduce a Floquet quasicrystal that simulates the motion of Bloch electrons in a homogeneous magnetic field in discrete time steps. We admit the hopping to be non-reciprocal which, via a generalized Aubry duality, leads us to push the…

The energy level spacing distribution of a tight-binding hamiltonian is monitored across the mobility edge for a fixed disorder strength. Any mixing of extended and localized levels is avoided in the configurational averages, thus…
