Abstract
We describe a quantum Hamiltonian in one dimension with a quasiperiodic interaction, giving rise to a metal-insulator transition at high coupling. This model applies to a linear wave propagation in a modulated medium, naturally resulting in potentials with incommensurate periods, as is the case for organic linear conductor chains.Keywords
