Time-periodic forcing in the form of coherent radiation is a standard tool for the coherent
manipulation of small quantum systems like single atoms. In the last years, periodic driving …

This article offers a comprehensive survey of results obtained for solitons and complex
nonlinear wave patterns supported by nonlinear lattices (NLs), which represent a spatially …

Solitons, nonlinear self-trapped wavepackets, have been extensively studied in many and
diverse branches of physics such as optics, plasmas, condensed matter physics, fluid …

Over the last few years arrays of evanescently coupled waveguides have been brought into
focus as a particular representation of functionalized optical materials, in which the …

Analogies between electronic condensed matter systems and optics attract widespread
attention nowadays, underlying much research in photonics. Prominent examples where …

Coupling among closely packed waveguides is a common optical phenomenon, and plays
an important role in optical routing and integration. Unfortunately, this coupling property is …

Bloch oscillations, the oscillatory motion of a quantum particle in a periodic potential, are
one of the most fascinating effects of coherent quantum transport. Originally studied in the …

Artificial gauge fields enable uncharged particles to behave as if affected by external fields.
Generated by geometry or modulation, artificial gauge fields are instrumental in realizing …

Dynamic localization (DL) of photons, ie, the light-motion cancellation effect arising from
lattice's quasi-energy band collapse under a synthetic ac-electric-field, provides a powerful …

Flat bands–single-particle energy bands–in tight-binding lattices, aka networks, have
attracted attention due to the presence of macroscopic degeneracies and their sensitivity to …
