چکیده
A flexible control of wave scattering in complex media is relevance different areas classical and quantum physics. Recently, great interest has been devoted to engineering non-Hermitian systems, with the prediction demonstration new classes potentials unique properties, such as transparent invisible or one-way reflectionless potentials. Such have found for both continuous discrete (lattice) systems. However, lattice systems displays some distinct features arising from (rather than continuous) translational invariance system, characterized by a finite band allowed energies speed propagation on lattice. can be exploited realize invisibility methods that fail when applied Here we show wide class time-dependent defects arbitrary spatial shape synthesized an Hermitian single-band tight-binding lattice, which are fully owing limited energy bandwidth

Robust light transport in non-Hermitian photonic lattices
Combating the effects of disorder on light transport in micro- and nano-integrated photonic devices is of major importance from both fundamental and applied viewpoints. In ordinary waveguides, imperfections and disorder cause unwanted back-reflections, which hinder large-scale optical integration. Topological photonic structures, a new class of optical systems inspired by quantum Hall effect an...
متن کاملLocalization Effects in ac-driven Tight-Binding Lattices
We study coherent dynamics of tight-binding systems interacting with static and oscillating external fields. We consider Bloch oscillations and WannierStark localization caused by dc fields, and compare these effects to dynamic localization that occurs in the presence of additional ac fields. Our analysis relies on quasienergy eigenstates, which take over the role of the usual Bloch waves. The ...
متن کاملUniversal Sign Control of Coupling in Tight-Binding Lattices.
We present a method of locally inverting the sign of the coupling term in tight-binding systems, by means of inserting a judiciously designed ancillary site and eigenmode matching of the resulting vertex triplet. Our technique can be universally applied to all lattice configurations, as long as the individual sites can be detuned. We experimentally verify this method in laser-written photonic l...
متن کاملTemporal solitonic crystals and non-hermitian informational lattices.
Clusters of temporal optical solitons--stable self-localized light pulses preserving their form during propagation--exhibit properties characteristic of that encountered in crystals. Here, we introduce the concept of temporal solitonic information crystals formed by the lattices of optical pulses with variable phases. The proposed general idea offers new approaches to optical coherent transmiss...
متن کاملTight-Binding Model for Spontaneous Magnetism of Quantum Dot Lattices
We use a simple tight-binding model to study the magnetism of twodimensional quantum dot lattices with 1 to 12 electrons per dot. The results show that in the middle of an electron shell the lattice favours antiferromagnetism while with nearly empty or full shells ferromagnetism is favoured. The size of the antiferromagnetic region increases with the coordination number of the dot. A one-dimens...
