    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 ...

    Interacting 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...

    Fractional 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...

    The 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...
