Flat band fine-tuning and its photonic applications

C Danieli, A Andreanov, D Leykam, S Flach - Nanophotonics, 2024 - degruyter.com
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 …

Flat-band localization and interaction-induced delocalization of photons

JGC Martinez, CS Chiu, BM Smitham, AA Houck - Science Advances, 2023 - science.org
Lattices with dispersionless, or flat, energy bands have attracted substantial interest in part
due to the strong dependence of particle dynamics on interactions. Using superconducting …

Flat-band localization in Creutz superradiance lattices

Y He, R Mao, H Cai, JX Zhang, Y Li, L Yuan, SY Zhu… - Physical Review Letters, 2021 - APS
Flat bands play an important role in diffraction-free photonics and attract fundamental
interest in many-body physics. Here we report the engineering of flat-band localization of …

Critical-to-insulator transitions and fractality edges in perturbed flat bands

S Lee, A Andreanov, S Flach - Physical Review B, 2023 - APS
We study the effect of quasiperiodic perturbations on one-dimensional all-bands-flat lattice
models. Such networks can be diagonalized by a finite sequence of local unitary …

Information dynamics in a model with Hilbert space fragmentation

D Hahn, PA McClarty, DJ Luitz - SciPost Physics, 2021 - scipost.org
The fully frustrated ladder-a quasi-1D geometrically frustrated spin one half Heisenberg
model-is non-integrable with local conserved quantities on rungs of the ladder, inducing the …

Flat-band generator in two dimensions

W Maimaiti, A Andreanov, S Flach - Physical Review B, 2021 - APS
Dispersionless bands, flat bands, provide an excellent test bed for novel physical phases
due to the fine-tuned character of flat band tight-binding Hamiltonians. The accompanying …
