The subject of electronic and phonon states in crystals with incommensurate periodic potentials is reviewed. The emphasis is on the physics behind the various theoretical methods of treating this problem and on showing the relationships between them. This review is meant to complement the reviews of mathematically rigorous results on the problem by Simon and by Bellissard. Although the review is primarily theoretical, there is a section which discusses possible experimental application of the theory, as well as experimental observations that have already been made. Some new theoretical results are presented and some old results are reinterpreted.
