Conductance transition with interacting bosons in an Aharonov-Bohm cage

AR Kolovsky, PS Muraev, S Flach - Physical Review A, 2023 - APS
We study the transport of interacting bosons through an Aharonov-Bohm cage—a building
block of flat-band networks—with coherent pump and sink leads. In the absence of …

Critical state generators from perturbed flatbands

S Lee, S Flach, A Andreanov - Chaos: An Interdisciplinary Journal of …, 2023 - pubs.aip.org
One-dimensional all-bands-flat lattices are networks with all bands being flat and highly
degenerate. They can always be diagonalized by a finite sequence of local unitary …

All-optical switching at the two-photon limit with interference-localized states

VAJ Pyykkönen, G Salerno, J Kähärä, P Törmä - Physical Review Research, 2023 - APS
We propose a single-photon-by-single-photon all-optical switch concept based on
interference-localized states on lattices and their delocalization by interaction. In its “open” …

Transport of interacting particles through a flat Bloch band: superconductivity and all-optical switching

V Pyykkönen - 2024 - aaltodoc.aalto.fi
In lattice models, destructive interference can lead to formation of localized states, which
results in Bloch bands with a constant dispersion, called flat bands. Flat-band systems give a …
