Topological insulators occupy a prominent position in the realm of condensed matter physics. Nevertheless, the presence of strong disorder has the potential to disrupt the integrity of topological states, leading to the localization of all states. This study delves into the intricate interplay between topology and localization within the one-dimensional Su–Schrieffer–Heeger (SSH) model, which incorporates controllable off-diagonal quasi-periodic modulations on superconducting circuits. Through the application of external alternating current (ac) magnetic fluxes, each transmon undergoes controlled driving, enabling independent tuning of all coupling strengths. Within a framework of this model, we construct comprehensive phase diagrams delineating regions characterized by extended topologically nontrivial states, critical localization, and co-existing topological and critical localization phases. The paper also addresses the dynamics of qubit excitations, elucidating distinct quantum state transfers resulting from the intricate interplay between topology and localization. Additionally, we propose a method for detecting diverse quantum phases utilizing existing experimental setups.

To conveniently calculate the Wigner function of the optical cumulant operator and its dissipation evolution in a thermal environment, in this paper, the thermo-entangled state representation is introduced to derive the general evolution formula of the Wigner function, and its relation to Weyl correspondence is also discussed. The method of integration within the ordered product of operators is essential to our discussion.

The strength of microwave (MW) electric field can be observed with high precision by using the standard electromagnetically induced transparency and Aulter–Towns (EIT-AT) technique, when its frequency is resonant or nearly-resonant with the Rydberg transition frequency. As the detuning of MW field increases, one of the transmission peaks (single peak) is easier to measure due to its increased amplitude. It can be found that the central symmetry point of the two transmission peaks f
