Defects in tight-binding lattices generally destroy the onset of Bloch oscillations (BOs) and the periodic self-imaging of the wave packet due to the lack of an equally-spaced Wannier-Stark ladder spectrum. Here it is shown that localized…

There has been recent interest in conformal twisted boundary conditions and their realisations in solvable lattice models. For the Ising and Potts quantum chains, these amount to boundary terms that are related to duality, which is a proper…
In a semiconductor superlattice with long scattering times, damping of Bloch oscillations due to scattering is so small that nonlinearities may compensate it and Bloch oscillations persist even in the hydrodynamic regime. To demonstrate…
