A recently introduced recurrence-relation ansatz applied to the Bose-Hubbard model is here used in the generalized Aubry-Andre model. The resulting modified Aubry-Andre model allows for a simple parametrization of the solutions in terms of…

We study statistical properties of the ensemble of large $N\times N$ random matrices whose entries $ H_{ij}$ decrease in a power-law fashion $H_{ij}\sim|i-j|^{-\alpha}$. Mapping the problem onto a nonlinear $\sigma-$model with non-local…

We use the density matrix renormalization group to study the quantum transitions that occur in the half-filled one-dimensional fermionic Hubbard model with onsite potential disorder. We find a transition from the gapped Mott phase with…

We consider a ladder system where one leg, referred to as the ``bath", is governed by an Aubry-Andr\'{e} (AA) type Hamiltonian, while the other leg, termed the ``subsystem", follows a standard tight-binding Hamiltonian. We investigate the…

We consider a random time evolution operator composed of a circuit of random unitaries coupling even and odd neighboring spins on a chain in turn. In spirit of Floquet evolution, the circuit is time-periodic; each timestep is repeated with…

We demonstrate the existence of an intermediate super-exponential localization regime for eigenstates of the Aubry-Andr\'e chain. In this regime, the eigenstates localize factorially similarly to the eigenstates of the Wannier-Stark ladder.…
