• Abstract: Arrays of coupled superconducting qubits are analog quantum simulators able to emulate a wide range of tight-binding models in parameter regimes that are difficult to access or adjust in natural materials. In this work, we use a superconducting qubit array to emulate a tight-binding model on the rhombic lattice, which features flat bands. Enabled by broad adjustability of the dispersion of the energy bands and of on-site disorder, we examine regimes where flat-band localization and Anderson localization compete. We observe disorder-induced localization for dispersive bands and disorder-induced delocalization for flat bands. Remarkably, we find a sudden transition between the two regimes and, in its vicinity, the semblance of quantum critical scaling.

• Suppressing chaos with mixed superconducting qubit devices [0.0]
  We study the crossover between localized and delocalized (chaotic) regimes in linear arrays of superconducting qubits. In systems with alternating anharmonicity, the localized regime is found to be more resilient to the increase in qubit-qubit coupling strength. This result supports designing devices that incorporate different qubit types to achieve higher performances.

  Electrons can navigate along channels we call superwires, gently guided without brute force confinement. Quantum properties of superwires give rise to elastic dynamical tunneling, linking disjoint regions of the corresponding classical phase space. We quantify tunneling rates across various lattice configurations, and demonstrate the tunneling can be suppressed in a controlled fashion.

  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.
