Dynamical evolution in a one-dimensional incommensurate lattice with <mml:math xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML"><mml:mi mathvariant="script">PT</mml:mi></mml:math> symmetry

We investigate the dynamical evolution of a parity-time ($\mathcal{PT}$) symmetric extension of the Aubry-Andr\'e (AA) model, which exhibits the coincidence of a localization-delocalization transition point with a $\mathcal{PT}$ symmetry breaking point. One can apply the evolution of the profile of the wave packet and the long-time survival probability to distinguish …
