In infinite spectral theory, we have the discrete and continuous spectrum, which are called "bound" and "scatter states" in physics.
My understanding is, if $O \in B(H)$ is a self-...

what is about the corresponding power series?
According to the papers The absolutely continuous spectrum of Jacobi matrices and these lecture notes:
periodicity ~ potential well or lattice (order)
lack of absolutely continued spectrum ~ Anderson ...
