Mobility edge, a critical energy separating localized and extended excitations, is a key concept for understanding quantum localization. Aubry-Andr\'{e} (AA) model, a paradigm for exploring quantum localization, does not naturally allow…

Motivated by the recent experiment by Bordia et al [Nat. Phys. 13, 460 (2017)], we study single particle delocalization phenomena of Aubry-Andr\'e (AA) model subjected to periodic drives. In two distinct cases we construct an equivalent…

We investigate localization transition in an open quasiperiodic ladder where the quasiperiodicity is described by the Aubry-Andr\'e-Harper model. While previous studies have shown that higher-order hopping or constrained quasiperiodic…

We explore the critical properties of the localization transition in the non-Hermitian Aubry-Andre-Stark (AAS) model with quasiperiodic and Stark potentials, where the non-Hermiticity comes from the nonreciprocal hopping. The localization…
