Special Session organized by S. Flach, and C. Danieli
This session will cover the fascinating field of Flat Band Physics.
We will highlight recent progress in the study of artificial flat band systems with a three-fold focus.
First, we cover single-particle flat band physics, which has advanced through the design of various flat band generators. These generators rely on the classification of flat bands in terms of compact localized states – their fundamental building blocks. A related development is the complete real-space description of flat band projectors.
Next, we cover studies on perturbations of flat bands, which provide new insights into the effects of disorder and, more importantly, the intricate interplay between many-body interactions and flat band physics.
Finally, we will discuss the growing number of experimental realizations of flat bands across diverse physical platforms.
