It is known that the spectral type of the almost Mathieu operator depends in a fundamental way on both the strength of the coupling constant and the arithmetic properties of the frequency. We study the competition between those factors and locate the point where the phase transition from singular continuous spectrum to pure point spectrum takes place, which solves Jitomirskaya's conjecture in \cite{Ji95,J07}. Together with \cite{Aab}, we give the sharp description of phase transitions for the almost Mathieu operator.

  1. Observation of Metal-Insulator and Spectral Phase Transitions in Aubry-Andr\'e-Harper Models

    quant-ph 2025-08 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    A single-photon quantum-walk experiment realizes the unitary almost-Mathieu operator and observes metal-insulator, parity-time symmetry-breaking, and all-imaginary-quasienergy spectral transitions.
