- Abstract: We introduce a self-consistent theory of mobility edges in nearest-neighbour
tight-binding chains with quasiperiodic potentials. Demarcating boundaries
between localised and extended states in the space of system parameters and
energy, mobility edges are generic in quasiperiodic systems which lack the
energy-independent self-duality of the commonly studied Aubry-Andr\'e-Harper
model. The potentials in such systems are strongly and infinite-range
correlated, reflecting their deterministic nature and rendering the problem
distinct from that of disordered systems. Importantly, the underlying
theoretical framework introduced is model-independent, thus allowing analytical
extraction of mobility edge trajectories for arbitrary quasiperiodic systems.
We exemplify the theory using two families of models, and show the results to
be in very good agreement with the exactly known mobility edges as well
numerical results obtained from exact diagonalisation.

We analyze a system formed by two chains of identical emitters coupled to a waveguide, whose guided modes induce excitation hopping.
We find that, in the single excitation limit, the bulk topological properties of the Hamiltonian that describes the coherent dynamics of the system are identical to the ones of a one-dimensional Su-Schrieffer-Heeger model.
We analytically identify parameter regimes where edge states arise which are fully localized to the boundaries of the chain, independently of the system size.

Unavoidable coupling of quantum systems to external degrees of freedom leads to dissipative (non-unitary) dynamics.
We introduce a method to deal with these systems based on the calculation of (dissipative) lattice Green's function.
We illustrate the power of this method with several examples of driven-dissipative bosonic chains of increasing complexity.

We analytically diagonalize the Liouvillian of a class Markovian dissipative systems with arbitrary strong interactions or nonlinearity.
This enables an exact description of the full dynamics and dissipative spectrum.
Our method is applicable to a variety of other systems, and could provide a powerful new tool for the study of complex driven-dissipative quantum systems.

We present a theory of localisation in quasiperiodic chains with nearest-neighbour hoppings, based on the convergence of local propagators.
Analysing the convergence of these continued fractions, localisation or its absence can be determined, yielding in turn the critical points and mobility edges.
Results are exemplified by analysing the theory for three quasiperiodic models covering a range of behaviour.
