Preformed pairs in flat Bloch bands
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 …

Tunable Aharonov-Bohm cages through imaginary couplings
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) …

Second-order topological corner states with ultracold atoms carrying orbital angular momentum in optical lattices
We propose a realization of a two-dimensional higher-order topological insulator with

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
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 …

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 …
