Abstract
We investigate the quantum dynamics in a disordered electronic lattice by the time-dependent density matrix renormalization group algorithm. The on-site energy in the lattice follows the Fibonacci sequence and the electron off-diagonally couples to a sub-Ohmic phonon bath. It is found that the slope of the inverse participation ratio versus the coupling strength undergoes a sudden change that indicates a transition from static to dynamic localization, and that the generated polarons coherently diffuse via hopping-like processes, evidenced by the saturated entanglement entropy, providing a novel scenario for a transportation mechanism in strongly disordered systems. Moreover, the mean-square displacement is revealed to be insensitive to the coupling strength, implying the quantum diffusion behavior survives the energy disorder that prevails in real organic materials.
