Roadmap on Atomtronics: State of the art and perspective

L Amico, M Boshier, G Birkl, A Minguzzi… - AVS Quantum …, 2021 - pubs.aip.org
Atomtronics deals with matter-wave circuits of ultracold atoms manipulated through
magnetic or laser-generated guides with different shapes and intensities. In this way, new …

Preformed pairs in flat Bloch bands

M Tovmasyan, S Peotta, L Liang, P Törmä, SD Huber - Physical Review B, 2018 - APS
In a flat Bloch band, the kinetic energy is quenched and single particles cannot propagate
since they are localized due to destructive interference. Whether this remains true in the …

One-dimensional -root topological insulators and superconductors

AM Marques, L Madail, RG Dias - Physical Review B, 2021 - APS
Square-root topology is a recently emerged subfield describing a class of insulators and
superconductors whose topological nature is only revealed upon squaring their …

Tunable Aharonov-Bohm cages through imaginary couplings

SM Zhang, HS Xu, L Jin - Physical Review A, 2023 - APS
The Aharonov-Bohm (AB) cage enables localized confinement with nondiffractive
propagation for arbitrary excitation. In this study, we introduce an anti-parity-time (anti-PT) …

Artificial gauge field switching using orbital angular momentum modes in optical waveguides

C Jörg, G Queraltó, M Kremer, G Pelegrí… - Light: Science & …, 2020 - nature.com
The discovery of artificial gauge fields controlling the dynamics of uncharged particles that
otherwise elude the influence of standard electromagnetic fields has revolutionised the field …

Second-order topological corner states with ultracold atoms carrying orbital angular momentum in optical lattices

G Pelegrí, AM Marques, V Ahufinger, J Mompart… - Physical Review B, 2019 - APS
We propose a realization of a two-dimensional higher-order topological insulator with
ultracold atoms loaded into orbital angular momentum (OAM) states of an optical lattice. The …

Long-range hopping and indexing assumption in one-dimensional topological insulators

RG Dias, AM Marques - Physical Review B, 2022 - APS
In this paper, we show that the introduction of long-range hoppings in one-dimensional
topological insulator models implies that different possibilities of site indexing must be …

Interaction-induced topological properties of two bosons in flat-band systems

G Pelegrí, AM Marques, V Ahufinger, J Mompart… - Physical Review …, 2020 - APS
In flat-band systems, destructive interference leads to the localization of noninteracting
particles and forbids their motion through the lattice. However, in the presence of …

Kaleidoscopes of Hofstadter butterflies and Aharonov-Bohm caging from -root topology in decorated square lattices

AM Marques, J Mögerle, G Pelegrí, S Flannigan… - Physical Review …, 2023 - APS

squaring the Hamiltonian, which produces their respective parent topological insulators …

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 …
