contents We study Anderson localization in a one-dimensional disordered system with long-range correlated hopping decaying as $1/r^{a}$ with complex hopping amplitudes that break time-reversal symmetry in a tunable fashion by varying their argument. We find analytically a corelation-induced algebraic localization that is robust to a finite strength of the time-reversal-symmetry-breaking parameter, beyond which all states delocalize. This establishes a localization--delocalization transition driven by the interplay between long-ranged correlated hopping and time-reversal symmetry breaking. In addition to obtaining the static localization phase diagram, we also investigate the dynamical phase diagram through the lens of wavepacket spreading. We find that the growth in time of the mean-squared displacement of a wavepacket, which is subdiffusive for the time-reversal symmetric case, becomes diffusive for any finite value of the time-reversal-symmetry-breaking parameter.
