Landau-Zener Bloch oscillations with perturbed flat bands

R Khomeriki, S Flach - Physical Review Letters, 2016 - APS
Sinusoidal Bloch oscillations appear in band structures exposed to external fields. Landau-

Localization of weakly disordered flat band states

D Leykam, JD Bodyfelt, AS Desyatnikov… - The European Physical …, 2017 - Springer
Certain tight binding lattices host macroscopically degenerate flat spectral bands. Their
origin is rooted in local symmetries of the lattice, with destructive interference leading to the …

Flat band induced local Hilbert space fragmentation

E Nicolau, AM Marques, RG Dias, V Ahufinger - Physical Review B, 2023 - APS
We demonstrate that a complete class of flat-band lattices with underlying commutative local
symmetries exhibit a locally fragmented Hilbert space. The equitable partition theorem …

Decoding flat bands from compact localized states

Y Chen, J Huang, K Jiang, J Hu - Science Bulletin, 2023 - Elsevier
The flat band system is an ideal quantum platform to investigate the kaleidoscope created by
