In one-dimensional translationally invariant anharmonic lattices, an extended Bloch state with two or more strongly correlated particles is usually called a quantum breather. Here we study an attractive fermionic Hubbard model with two kind…

We study nonlinear phonon excitations in a one-dimensional quantum nonlinear lattice model using numerical exact diagonalization. We find that multi-phonon bound states exist as eigenstates which are natural counterparts of breather…

The quantum modes of a nonlinear Klein Gordon lattice have been computed numerically [L. Proville, Phys. Rev. B, vol. 71, 104306 (2005)]. The on-site nonlinearity has been found to lead to a phonon pairing and consequently some phonon bound…

Quantum breathers are studied numerically in several electron-phonon coupled finite chain systems, in which the coupling results in intrinsic nonlinearity but with varying degrees of nonadiabaticity. As for quantum nonlinear lattice…

Using two methods we show that a quantized discrete breather in a 1-D lattice is stable. One method uses path integrals and compares correlations for a (linear) local mode with those of the quantum breather. The other takes a local mode as…

Nonequilibrium, quasi-stationary states of a one-dimensional "hard" $\phi^4$ deterministic lattice, initially thermalized to a particular temperature, are investigated when brought into contact with a stochastic thermal bath at lower…

We observe that changing a phase at a single point in a discrete quantum walk results in a rather surprising localization effect. For certain values of this phase change the possibility of localization strongly depends on the internal…

Discrete breathers, or intrinsic localized modes, are spatially localized, time--periodic, nonlinear excitations that can exist and propagate in systems of coupled dynamical units. Recently, some experiments show the sighting of a form of…

Nonlinearity and disorder are the recognized ingredients of the lattice vibrational dynamics, the factors that could be diminished, but never excluded. We generalize the concept of $q$-breathers -- periodic orbits in nonlinear lattices,…

We present analytical and numerical studies of phase-coherent dynamics of intrinsically localized excitations (breathers) in a system of two weakly coupled nonlinear oscillator chains. We show that there are two qualitatively different…

The paper addresses compact oscillatory states (compact breathers) in translationally-invariant lattices with flat dispersion bands. The compact breathers appear in such systems even in the linear approximation. If the interactions are…

We study the effects of electron-lattice interaction in the presence of discrete breathers. The lattice is treated classically. We consider two different situations - i) the scattering of an electron by a discrete breather in the…

We study anharmonic localization in a periodic five atom chain with quadratic-quartic spring potential. We use discrete symmetries to eliminate the degeneracies of the harmonic chain and easily find periodic orbits. We apply linear…

The unique geometry of the two-dimensional tripartite Kagome lattice is responsible for shaping diverse families of spatially localized and time-periodic nonlinear modes known as discrete breathers. We state conditions for the existence of…

A new strategy for trapping quantum particles is presented, which behaves like an effective harmonic oscillator potential trap wherever is desired. The approach is based on harmonic contraction and expansion of the system around a fixed…

We investigate the quantum breathing mode (monopole oscillation) of trapped fermionic particles with Coulomb and dipole interaction in one and two dimensions. This collective oscillation has been shown to reveal detailed information on the…

We demonstrate the existence of wavenumber bandgap (q-gap) breathers in a time-periodic phononic lattice. These breathers are localized in time and periodic in space, and are the counterparts to the classical breathers found in…

Quantum states of a discrete breather are studied in two ways. One method involves numerical diagonalization of the Hamiltonian, the other uses the path integral to examine correlations in the eigenstates. In both cases only the central…

A temporal response of two interacting particles to a quench of the coupling strength in one-dimensional harmonic and anharmonic traps is explored. The coupling strength is changed from repulsive to attractive interactions and vice versa.…

Qualitative information about breather initial profiles in the weak coupling limit of a chain of identical one-dimensional anharmonic oscillators is found by studying the linearized equations of motion at a one-site breather. In particular,…
