Flat band transport and Josephson effect through a finite-size sawtooth lattice
Ville A. J. Pyykkönen, Sebastiano Peotta, Philipp Fabritius +3
We study theoretically the transport through a finite-size sawtooth lattice coupled to two fermionic reservoirs kept in the superfluid state. We focus on the DC Josephson effect an…
Determination of dynamical quantum phase transitions in strongly correlated many-body systems using Loschmidt cumulants
Sebastiano Peotta, Fredrik Brange, Aydin Deger +2
Dynamical phase transitions extend the notion of criticality to non-stationary settings and are characterized by sudden changes in the macroscopic properties of time-evolving quant…
Flat band induced non-Fermi liquid behavior of multicomponent fermions
Pramod Kumar, Sebastiano Peotta, Yosuke Takasu +2
We investigate multicomponent fermions in a flat band and predict experimental signatures of non-Fermi liquid behavior. We use dynamical mean-field theory to obtain the density, do…
Quantum metric and effective mass of a two-body bound state in a flat band
Paivi Torma, Long Liang, Sebastiano Peotta
We consider two-body bound states in a flat band of a multiband system. The existence of pair dispersion predicts the possibility of breaking the degeneracy of the band and creatin…
Preformed pairs in flat Bloch bands
Murad Tovmasyan, Sebastiano Peotta, Long Liang +2
In a flat Bloch band the kinetic energy is quenched and single particles cannot propagate since they are localized due to destructive interference. Whether this remains true in the…
