• Abstract: We investigate the effect of a periodic electric field drive on the generalized Aubry-André model, also known as the Ganeshan-Pixley-Das Sarma (GPD) model, which is well known as a host of mobility edges. Our study of the Floquet spectrum of the driven GPD model uncovers the emergence of two distinct Floquet mobility edges, a delocalized--localized (DL) edge in the bounded regime, and a multifractal--localized (ML) edge in the unbounded regime. Using analytical results derived from Avila's global theory applied to the high frequency effective Hamiltonian, together with numerical diagnostics such as the fractal dimension and inverse participation ratio, we demonstrate that these mobility edges can be effectively controlled by the amplitude and frequency of the electric field drive. We also identify drive-induced localization at specific values of the driving parameters, corresponding to dynamical localization points in the absence of quasiperiodic potential. Furthermore, the dynamical study of the periodically driven GPD model demonstrates superdiffusive to almost ballistic transport in the bounded regime corresponding to the DL edges, whereas subdiffusive transport is observed in the unbounded regime associated with the ML edges. We also analyze deviations from the high-frequency effective description by explicitly examining the low-frequency driving regime, where significant and counterintuitive deviations in both spectral properties and transport behavior are observed. Our study highlights the interplay of a quasiperiodic potential and a periodically varying electric field drive as a powerful mechanism to engineer mobility edges and control transport in systems with rich spectral features.

  We experimentally, numerically, and analytically explore strongly driven two-mode Josephson circuits in the regime of strong driving and large detuning. We find that the breakdown of the rotating wave approximation in the regime studied does not lead to qualitatively different dynamics. This is an interesting consequence compared to the carrier transition case, where the breakdown of the RWA results in qualitatively different time evolution of the quantum state.
