We prove that for Diophantine \om and almost every \th, the almost Mathieu operator, (H_{\omega,\lambda,\theta}\Psi)(n)=\Psi(n+1) + \Psi(n-1) + \lambda\cos 2\pi(\omega n +\theta)\Psi(n), exhibits localization for \lambda > 2 and purely absolutely continuous spectrum for \lambda < 2. This completes the proof of (a correct version of) the Aubry-Andr\'e conjecture.

    quant-ph 2024-11 unverdicted novelty 7.0 of 10

    A pseudo-unitary quasiperiodic quantum walk model exhibits a novel mobility edge sharply dividing metallic and insulating phases plus a second transition unique to discrete time, with PT-symmetry breaking quantified b...

  2. Singular continuous Cantor spectrum for magnetic quantum walks

    quant-ph 2019-08 accept novelty 7.0 of 10

    For irrational magnetic flux, the spectrum of the two-dimensional Hadamard magnetic quantum walk is a zero-measure Cantor set and the walk has no pure point spectrum, so the spectrum is purely singular continuous.

  3. Observation of Metal-Insulator and Spectral Phase Transitions in Aubry-Andr\'e-Harper Models

    quant-ph 2025-08 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    A single-photon quantum-walk experiment realizes the unitary almost-Mathieu operator and observes metal-insulator, parity-time symmetry-breaking, and all-imaginary-quasienergy spectral transitions.
