contents We study the convergence of two of the most widely used and intuitive approaches for computing the spectra of differential operators with quasiperiodic coefficients: the supercell method and the superspace method. In both cases, Floquet-Bloch theory for periodic operators can be used to compute approximations to the spectrum. We illustrate our results with examples of Schrödinger and Helmholtz operators.
