Aharonov-Bohm (AB) caging, a special flat-band localization mechanism, has spurred great interest in different areas of physics. AB caging can be harnessed to explore the rich and exotic physics of quantum transport in flatband systems,…
Flat-band topologies and localizations in non-interacting systems are extensively studied in different quantum and classical-wave systems. Recently, the exploration on the novel physics of flat-band localizations and topologies in…
The interplay of $\pi$-flux and lattice geometry can yield full localization of quantum dynamics in lattice systems, a striking interference phenomenon known as Aharonov-Bohm caging. At the level of the single-particle energy spectrum, this…
Flat-band lattices hosting compact localized states are highly sensitive to external modulation, and the tailored design of a perturbation to imprint specific features becomes relevant. Here we show that periodic driving in the…
The Aharonov-Bohm (AB) caging is the phenomenon of extreme localization of particles experiencing magnetic field in certain tight binding lattices. While the AB caging involves the localization of non-interacting particles, it often breaks…
Flat-band systems are highly sensitive to external perturbations, providing a route to study unconventional localization, transport, and spin physics. Lieb lattice, a two-dimensional geometry with an inherent flat band, exemplifies this…
We study transport of interacting bosons through an Aharonov-Bohm cage - a building block of flat band networks - with coherent pump and sink leads. In the absence of interactions the cage is insulating due to destructive interference. We…

In flat-band systems, destructive interference leads to the localization of non-interacting particles and forbids their motion through the lattice. However, in the presence of interactions the overlap between neighbouring single-particle…
