We introduce the non-Hermitian mosaic Maryland model, where a discrete modulation period and a non-Hermitian phase are incorporated into the potential, rendering the originally exactly solvable system generally non-integrable. This model…
In this paper, we present a general correspondence between the mosaic and non-mosaic models, which can be used to obtain the exact solution for the mosaic ones. This relation holds not only for the quasicrystal models, but also for the…

Quasiperiodic systems offer an appealing intermediate between long-range ordered and genuine disordered systems, with unusual critical properties. One-dimensional models that break the so-called self-dual symmetry usually display a mobility…
Mobility edges commonly arise in one-dimensional quasiperiodic systems once exact self-duality is broken, yet their origin is typically understood only at the level of individual Hamiltonians. Here we show that mobility edge positions are…

A single-particle mobility edge (SPME) marks a critical energy separating extended from localized states in a quantum system. In one-dimensional systems with uncorrelated disorder, a SPME cannot exist, since all single-particle states…
