We study the distributions of the resonance widths P (Γ) and of delay times P (τ) in open, one-dimensional quasi-periodic systems at critical conditions. We show that both quantities decay algebraically as Γ^−(1+D₀) and τ^{−(2−D₀)} on small and large scales, respectively, where D₀ is the fractal (box-counting) dimension of the spectrum of the closed system [1]. Moreover, the survival probability P(t), which charactirizes the dynamical properties of open systems, is found to decay algebraically P(t)∼ t^{−(1−D₀)} as well [2]. The latter quantity should be observable in experiments. Our results are obtained numerically for two different types of quasi-periodic tight-binding models and are supported by analytical arguments.
