The influence of localization transition on dynamical properties for an extended Aubry-André-Harper model

Abstract

We show the localization transition and its effect on two dynamical processes for an extended Aubry-André-Harper model with incommensurate on-site and hopping potentials. After specifying an extended Aubry-André-Harper model, we check the localization transition for all the eigenstates and eigenenergy band splitting behavior versus a system parameter. To examine the effect of localization transition on dynamical processes, firstly, the slowly pumping of the edge states are examined. In the dynamical processes, the system acts as conductor for the excitation in the nonlocal region and insulator in the localized region. Then by quantum Lyapunov control method with different control Hamiltonians, we prepare an edge localized state which exists in the nonlocal region. Compared to that in the nonlocal region, the control effect is suppressed in the localized region. Then we employ the entropy and occupation imbalance between even and odd sites to indicate the localization transition further. Finally, the experimental schemes based on cold atoms trapped quasiperiodic optical lattice and coupled optical waveguide arrays are suggested.
