We prove that these m sequences are almost periodic. We call such combinations hybrid qua- [ sicrystals and these studies are related to the minimality, under the 1 shift on both coordinates, of the product space of the respective (min- v imal) hulls. We observe a rich variety of behaviors on the quantum 9 dynamical transport ranging from localization to transport. 5 6 1 1 Introduction . 6 0 The study of transport in one-dimensional aperiodic lattices may be modeled 7 0 by the nearest-neighbors tight-binding Hamiltonian (Schrodinger¨ operator) : 2 in l (Z) v i X (1) (H )n = n+1 + n−1 + λVn n , r a with λ 0 and
