Quasiperiodic behaviour is known to occur in systems with enforced quasiperiodicity or randomness, in either the lattice structure or the potential, as well as in periodically driven systems. Here, we present instead a setting where…

Disorder in moire superlattices simultaneously degrades flat-band localization and induces Anderson localization, yet how these two regimes interact has remained unclear. Here, we introduce a combined framework linking localization-length…

Inspired by the recently discovered phenomenon of re-entrant localization (REL) [Roy et al., PRL 126, 106803 (2021)], we propose a new approach to induce REL, i.e., to control the quasiperiodic potential's phase-shift between odd and even…
Dynamic facilitation theory assumes short-ranged dynamic constraints to be the essential feature of supercooled liquids and draws much of its conclusions from the study of kinetically constrained models. While deceptively simple, these…

Lattice quasi-periodicity is easily realized with ultracold atoms in optical lattices and has been used to study delocalization-localization transition at low dimensions. Models with true disorder, however, remains largely unrealized in…
