Fano Resonances in Flat Band Networks
Linear wave equations on Hamiltonian lattices with translational invariance are characterized by an eigenvalue band structure in reciprocal space. Flat band lattices have at least one of the bands completely d...

Quantum subdiffusion with two- and three-body interactions
We study the dynamics of a few-quantum-particle cloud in the presence of two- and three-body interactions in weakly disordered one-dimensional lattices. The interaction is dramatically enhancing the Anderson ...

Open AccessInteracting ultracold atomic kicked rotors: loss of dynamical localization
We study the fate of dynamical localization of two quantum kicked rotors with contact interaction, which relates to experimental realizations of the rotors with ultra-cold atomic gases. A single kicked rotor i...

Open AccessFractional lattice charge transport
We consider the dynamics of noninteracting quantum particles on a square lattice in the presence of a magnetic flux α and a dc electric field E oriented along the lattice diagonal. In general, the adiabatic dynam...

Localization of weakly disordered flat band states
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 existence of compact...

Open AccessThe Asymmetric Active Coupler: Stable Nonlinear Supermodes and Directed Transport
We consider the asymmetric active coupler (AAC) consisting of two coupled dissimilar waveguides with gain and loss. We show that under generic conditions, not restricted by parity-time symmetry, there exist fi...

Thermal conductivity of nonlinear waves in disordered chains
We present computational data on the thermal conductivity of nonlinear waves in disordered chains. Disorder induces Anderson localization for linear waves and results in a vanishing conductivity. Cubic nonline...

Transporting Cold Atoms in Optical Lattices with Ratchets: Mechanisms and Symmetries
Thermal fluctuations alone cannot create a steady directed transport in an unbiased system. However, if a system is out of equilibrium, the Second Law of Thermodynamics no longer applies, and then there are no...

Localized Excitations in Discrete Hamiltonian Systems
The modification of soliton properties (e. g. of kinks and breathers) in discrete systems has been studied over a rather long period of time1. Recently Takeno2 has discussed a new type of nonlinear localized exci...

Properties of Localized Excitations in 1D Discrete Systems
In this contribution we will study in detail properties of nonlinear localized excitations (NLE) in one-dimensional discrete Hamiltonian lattices. We will use results from a previous contribution1, which we herea...

Long-time correlations in a model of structural phase transitions with infinite range interaction
The long-time value of the displacement-displacement correlation function is calculated within theφ 4-lattice model used to simulate structural phase transitions. Its temperature dependence and dispersion is disc...

Mode coupling approximation in a model of structural phase transitions with infinite range interaction
The long-time value of the displacement-displacement correlation function and the mean square displacements are calculated within the Φ4-lattice model with infinite range interaction by use of a mode coupling app...
