- Abstract: Using synthetic lattices of laser-coupled atomic momentum modes, we
experimentally realize a recently proposed family of nearest-neighbor
tight-binding models having quasiperiodic site energy modulation that host an
exact mobility edge protected by a duality symmetry. These one-dimensional
tight-binding models can be viewed as a generalization of the well-known
Aubry-Andr\'{e} (AA) model, with an energy-dependent self duality condition
that constitutes an analytical mobility edge relation. By adiabatically
preparing the lowest and highest energy eigenstates of this model system and
performing microscopic measurements of their participation ratio, we track the
evolution of the mobility edge as the energy-dependent density of states is
modified by the model's tuning parameter. Our results show strong deviations
from single-particle predictions, consistent with attractive interactions
causing both enhanced localization of the lowest energy state due to
self-trapping and inhibited localization of the highest energy state due to
screening. This study paves the way for quantitative studies of interaction
effects on self duality induced mobility edges.

Building on the development of momentum state lattices (MSLs) over the past decade, we introduce a simple extension of this technique to higher dimensions.
MSLs have enabled the realization of tight-binding models with tunable disorder, gauge fields, non-Hermiticity, and other features.
We discuss many of the direct extensions to this model, including the introduction of disorder and non-Hermiticity, which will enable the exploration of new transport and localization phenomena in higher dimensions.

We show that introduction of harmonic and spin-dependent linear potentials sufficiently validates fTWA for longer times.
In particular, we focus on a finite two-dimensional system and show that at intermediate linear potential strength, the addition of a harmonic potential and spin dependence of the tilt, results in subdiffusive dynamics.

Key aspects of the AdS/CFT correspondence can be captured in terms of tensor network models on hyperbolic lattices.
For tensors fulfilling the matchgate constraint, these have previously been shown to produce disordered boundary states.
We show that these Hamiltonians exhibit multi-scale quasiperiodic symmetries captured by an analytical toy model.

We introduce a self-consistent theory of mobility edges in nearest-neighbour tight-binding chains with quasiperiodic potentials.
mobility edges are generic in quasiperiodic systems which lack the energy-independent self-duality of the commonly studied Aubry-Andr'e-Harper model.

We study the dynamics of an initial end state in nonreciprocal Su-Schrieffer-Heeger models under open boundary conditions.
We find that it is dynamically more robust than its Hermitian counterpart, because the non-Hermitian skin effect can suppress the part leaking to the bulk sites.
