• Abstract: Flat bands play an important role in diffraction-free photonics and attract fundamental interest in many-body physics. Here we report the engineering of flat-band localization of collective excited states of atoms in Creutz superradiance lattices with tunable synthetic gauge fields. Magnitudes and phases of the lattice hopping coefficients can be independently tuned to control the state components of the flat band and the Aharonov-Bohm phases. We can selectively excite the flat band and control the flat-band localization with the synthetic gauge field. Our study provides a room-temperature platform for flat bands of atoms and holds promising applications in exploring correlated topological materials.

  Fractional excitations offer vast potential for both fundamental physics and quantum technologies. Here, we investigate the evolution of low-energy Majorana dispersions across various crystalline phases of the pi-flux in the Kitaev spin model on a honeycomb lattice. We identify conditions under which this superexchange interaction acts as a Z2 gauge field, governing the tight-binding hopping of Majorana Wannier orbitals.

  We report on the experimental realization of highly tunable flat-band models populated by strongly interacting Rydberg atoms. We explore the control of Aharonov--Bohm (AB) caging via a tunable $U(1)$ gauge field. In the limit of weak interactions, where caging remains intact, we observe an effective magnetism that arises due to the interaction-driven mixing of degenerate flat-band states.

  We show a theory of interaction-induced band-flattening in strongly correlated electron systems. Specifically, we demonstrate that a Dirac particle in an external, spatially periodic magnetic field can be cast in this form. We show that certain Hubbard-Stratonovich configurations exist that rectify'' the field configuration, inducing band flattening.

We study how edge modes emerge at the interface and how the group velocity of the particles is modified as the sharpness of the potential step is varied.

  Quantum emitters interacting with photonic band-gap materials lead to the appearance of qubit-photon bound states. We study the features of the qubit-photon bound states when the emitters couple to the bulk modes in the different phases. We consider the coupling of emitters to the edge modes appearing in the different topological phases.
