Space-time (ST) wave packets are propagation-invariant pulsed optical beams whose group velocity can be tuned in free space by tailoring their spatio-temporal spectral structure. To date, efforts on synthesizing ST wave packets have striven…
We investigate the time evolution of Gaussian wave packet (GWP) in the tight-binding chain with uniform nearest neighbor (NN) hopping integral. Analytical analysis and numerical simulations show that the fractional revival of the quantum…
When propagating through periodically structured media, i. e. photonic crystals, optical waves will be modulated with the periodicity. As a result, the dispersion of waves will no longer behave as in a free space, and so called frequency…
Wave packets in graphene whose central wave vector is at Dirac points are investigated by numerical calculations. Starting from an initial Gaussian function, these wave packets form into annular peaks that propagate to all directions like…
The broadening of one-dimensional Gaussian wave packets is presented in all textbooks on quantum mechanics. It is used to elucidate Heisenberg's uncertainty relation. The behaviour on a lattice is drastically different if the amplitude…

Changing the microstructure properties of a space-time metamaterial while a wave is propagating through it, in general requires addition or removal of energy, which can be of exponential form depending on the type of modulation. This limits…
