Two interacting particles in the Harper model

Dynamics, the spectral and eigenstate properties of two particles with short range repulsive or attractive interaction was studied in the Harper model with incommensurate potential [84,85,87]. It is shown that interaction leads to appearance of localized states and pure-point spectrum component in the case when noninteractive system is quasi-diffusive or ballistic. In the localized phase interaction gives only stronger localization contrary to the case of two interacting particles in a random potential. These results were qualitatively understood on the basis of Aubry duality breaking.
