Flat bands by latent symmetry

CV Morfonios, M Röntgen, M Pyzh, P Schmelcher - Physical Review B, 2021 - APS
Flat energy bands of model lattice Hamiltonians provide a key ingredient in designing
dispersionless wave excitations and have become a versatile platform to study various …

Emergent non-Hermitian models

L Eek, A Moustaj, M Röntgen, V Pagneux, V Achilleos… - Physical Review B, 2024 - APS
The Hatano-Nelson and the non-Hermitian Su-Schrieffer-Heeger models are paradigmatic
examples of non-Hermitian systems that host nontrivial boundary phenomena. In this work …

Equireflectionality and customized unbalanced coherent perfect absorption in asymmetric waveguide networks

M Röntgen, O Richoux, G Theocharis, CV Morfonios… - Physical Review …, 2023 - APS
We explore the scattering of waves in designed asymmetric one-dimensional waveguide
networks. We show that the reflection between two ports of an asymmetric network can be …

Hidden symmetries in acoustic wave systems

M Röntgen, CV Morfonios, P Schmelcher… - Physical Review Letters, 2023 - APS
Latent symmetries are hidden symmetries which become manifest by performing a reduction
of a given discrete system into an effective lower-dimensional one. We show how latent …

Latent symmetry induced degeneracies

M Röntgen, M Pyzh, CV Morfonios… - Physical Review Letters, 2021 - APS
Degeneracies in the energy spectra of physical systems are commonly considered to be
either of accidental character or induced by symmetries of the Hamiltonian. We develop an …

An infinite family of circulant graphs with perfect state transfer in discrete quantum walks

H Zhan - Quantum Information Processing, 2019 - Springer
We study perfect state transfer in Kendon's model of discrete quantum walks. In particular,
we give a characterization of perfect state transfer purely in terms of the graph spectra, and …

Pretty good state transfer in discrete-time quantum walks

A Chan, H Zhan - Journal of Physics A: Mathematical and …, 2023 - iopscience.iop.org
We establish the theory for pretty good state transfer in discrete-time quantum walks. For a
class of walks, we show that pretty good state transfer is characterized by the spectrum of …

Strong cospectrality and twin vertices in weighted graphs

H Monterde - arXiv preprint arXiv:2111.01265, 2021 - arxiv.org
We explore algebraic and spectral properties of weighted graphs containing twin vertices
that are useful in quantum state transfer. We extend the notion of adjacency strong …

[HTML][HTML] Characterizing cospectral vertices via isospectral reduction

M Kempton, J Sinkovic, D Smith, B Webb - Linear Algebra and its …, 2020 - Elsevier
Two emerging topics in graph theory are the study of cospectral vertices of a graph, and the
study of isospectral reductions of graphs. In this paper, we prove a fundamental relationship …
