Localization and Symmetry Breaking in the Quantum Quasiperiodic Ising Glass
Quasiperiodic modulation can prevent isolated quantum systems from equilibrating by localizing their degrees of freedom. In this article, we show that such systems can exhibit dynamically stable long-range orders forbidden in equilibrium. Specifically, we show that the interplay of symmetry breaking and localization in the quasiperiodic quantum Ising chain produces a quasiperiodic Ising glass s...
متن کاملApplication of the GALI Method to Localization Dynamics in Nonlinear Systems
We investigate localization phenomena and stability properties of quasiperiodic oscillations in N degree of freedom Hamiltonian systems and N coupled symplectic maps. In particular, we study an example of a parametrically driven Hamiltonian lattice with only quartic coupling terms and a system of N coupled standard maps. We explore their dynamics using the Generalized Alignment Index (GALI), wh...
متن کاملPhotonic band gaps and localization in two-dimensional metallic quasicrystals
– We report on experimental observation of photonic stop bands in two-dimensional metallic Penrose lattice. We investigated the defect characteristics, and observed strongly localized cavity modes below the plasma frequency. The absence of the translational symmetry allowed to change the defect frequencies and localization properties of the defect modes. Propagation of photons along highly loca...
متن کاملQuantum interferences in quasicrystals
– Contributions of quantum interference effects occuring in quasicrystals are reported. First conversely to metallic systems, quasiperiodic ones are shown to enclose original alterations of their conductive properties while downgrading long range order. Besides, origin of localization mechanism are outlined within the context of the original metal-insulator transition (MIT) found in these mater...
متن کاملOptimizing the Event-based Method of Localization in Wireless Sensor Networks
A Wireless Sensor Network (WSN) is a wireless decentralized structure network consists of many nodes. Nodes can be fixed or mobile. WSN applications typically observe some physical phenomenon through sampling of the environment so determine the location of events is an important issue in WSN. Wireless Localization used to determine the position of nodes. The precise localization in WSNs is a co...
متن کاملExponential localization in one-dimensional quasiperiodic optical lattices
We investigate the localization properties of a one-dimensional bichromatic optical lattice in the tight binding regime, by discussing how exponentially localized states emerge upon changing the degree of commensurability. We also review the mapping onto the discrete Aubry-André model, and provide evidences on how the momentum distribution gets modified in the crossover from extended to exponen...
