Abstract
Low-dimensional quasiperiodic systems exhibit localization transitions by turning all quantum states localized after a critical quasidisorder. While certain systems with modified or constrained quasiperiodic potential undergo multiple localization transitions in one dimension, we predict an emergence of multiple localization transitions without directly imposing any constraints on the quasiperiodic potential. By considering a one-dimensional system described by the Aubry-Andr\'e model, we show that an additional staggered on-site potential can drive the system through a series of localization transitions as a function of the staggered potential. Interestingly, we find that the number of localization transitions strongly depends on the strength of the quasiperiodic potential. Moreover, we obtain the signatures of these localization transitions in the expansion dynamics and propose an experimental scheme for their detection in the quantum gas experiment.
