We develop a theory of two-dimensional Bloch-Landau-Zener (BLZ) oscillations of wavepackets in incommensurate moir\'e lattices under the influence of a weak linear gradient. Unlike periodic systems, aperiodic lattices lack translational…

Bloch-Zener oscillations (BZO), i.e. the interplay between Bloch oscillations and Zener tunneling in two-band lattices under an external dc force, are ubiquitous in different areas of wave physics, including photonics. While in Hermitian…

We demonstrate the presence of quantum interference effects in van der Waals heterostructures subject to in-plane electric fields. The in-plane field $F$ accelerates carriers through a hybridized band edge, and interlayer Zener tunneling…

Electronic transport in narrow gap semiconductors is characterized by spontaneous vertical transitions between carriers in the valence and conduction bands, a phenomenon also known as Zener tunneling. However, this effect is not captured by…

We show that nonreciprocal optical Bloch-like oscillations can emerge in transversely magnetized waveguide arrays in the presence of an effective index step between the waveguides. Normal modes of the system are shown to acquire different…

We investigate the optical beam behavior in the periodical array of the coupled optical waveguides with the monotonic change of the refractive index in the transverse direction. We consider the dependence of the form of the optical beam on…

Stimulated by the experimental realization of spin-dependent tunneling via gradient magnetic field [Phys. Rev. Lett. 111, 225301 (2013); Phys. Rev. Lett. 111, 185301 (2013)], we investigate dynamics of Bloch oscillations and Landau-Zener…

Bloch oscillations originate from the translational symmetry of crystals. These oscillations occur with a fundamental period that a semiclassical wavepacket takes to traverse a Brillouin-zone loop. We introduce a new type of Bloch…

We experimentally investigate a discrete time quantum walk in a system of coupled fiber loops and observe typical phenomena known from the wave propagation in periodic structures as ballistic spreading or an oscillation between two internal…

A photonic realization of Bloch oscillations (BOs) of two correlated electrons that move on a one-dimensional periodic lattice, based on spatial light transport in a square waveguide array with a defect line, is theoretically proposed. The…

General properties of linear propagation of discretized light in homogeneous and curved waveguide arrays are comprehensively investigated and compared to those of paraxial diffraction in continuous media. In particular, general laws…

The Bloch oscillations in the zigzag array of the optical waveguides are considered. The multiple scattering formalism (MSF) is used for the numerical simulation of the optical beam which propagates within the array. The effect of the…

Fibonacci system with both diagonal and off-diagonal disorder is mapped to a model with dimer type 'defects'. The model exhibit resonance transition corresponding to zero reflectance condition resulting in extended states in the system.…

The multiple scattering formalism is proposed describing the guided modes in the optical waveguide array within the framework of macroscopic electrodynamics. It is shown that, under sufficiently general assumptions, our approach justifies…

A standing-wave control field applied to a three-level atomic medium in a planar hollow-core photonic crystal waveguide creates periodic variations of linear and nonlinear refractive indexes of the medium. This property can be used for…

We investigate the nonlinear Bloch dynamics and Landau-Zener tunneling of quantum droplets in optical lattices, where the interplay between mean-field repulsion and beyond-mean-field attraction from Lee-Huang-Yang corrections introduces a…

Bloch oscillations (BOs) describe the coherent oscillatory motion of electrons in a periodic lattice under a constant external electric field. Deviations from pure harmonic wave packet motion or irregular Bloch oscillations can occur due to…

In the Bloch-wave approach to estimate the baryon-number-violating scattering cross section in the standard electroweak theory in the laboratory, we clarify the relation between the single sphaleron barrier and multiple (near periodic)…

We present our experimental investigations on the subject of nonlinearity-modified Bloch-oscillations and of nonlinear Landau-Zener tunneling between two energy bands in a rubidium Bose Einstein condensate in an accelerated periodic…

We use an analytic perturbation expansion for the two-band system of tight binding electrons to discuss Bloch oscillations and Zener tunneling within this model. We make comparison with recent numerical results and predict analytically the…
