• Abstract summary: We investigate the topology and localization of one-dimensional Hermitian and non-Hermitian Su-Schrieffer-Heeger chains with quasiperiodic hopping modulations. We show the presence of topological extended, intermediate, and localized phases due to the coexistence of independent topological and localization phase transitions.

• Abstract: We investigate the topology and localization of one-dimensional Hermitian and non-Hermitian Su-Schrieffer-Heeger chains with quasiperiodic hopping modulations. In the Hermitian case, phase diagrams are obtained by numerically and analytically calculating various topological and localization characters. We show the presence of topological extended, intermediate, and localized phases due to the coexistence of independent topological and localization phase transitions driven by the quasiperiodic disorder. Unlike the gapless and localized TAI phase in one-dimensional random disordered systems, we uncover three types of quasiperiodic-disorder-induced gapped topological Anderson insulators (TAIs) with extended, intermediate (with mobility edges), and localized bulk states in this chiral chain. Moreover, we study the non-Hermitian effects on the TAIs by considering two kinds of non-Hermiticities from the non-conjugate complex hopping phase and asymmetric hopping strength, respectively. We demonstrate that three types of TAIs preserve under the non-Hermitian perturbations with some unique localization and topological properties, such as the non-Hermitian real-complex and localization transitions and their topological nature. Our work demonstrates that the disorder-induced TAIs in Hermitian and non-Hermitian quasiperiodic systems are not tied to Anderson transitions and have various localization properties.

  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.

  Periodically driven non-Hermitian systems could possess exotic nonequilibrium phases with unique topological, dynamical and transport properties. We introduce an experimentally realizable two-leg ladder model subjecting to both time-periodic quenches and non-Hermitian effects. Our work thus introduces a new type of non-Hermitian Floquet topological matter, and further reveals the richness of topology and dynamics in driven open systems.
