Make Slow Fast -- how to speed up interacting disordered matter
Anderson and dynamical localization have been experimentally observed with
ultra-cold atomic matter. Feshbach resonances are used to efficiently control
the strength of interactions between atoms. This allows to study the
delocalization effect of interactions for localized wave packets. The
delocalization processes are subdiffusive and slow, thereby limiting the
quantitative experimental and numerical analysis. We propose an elegant
solution of the problem by proper ramping the interaction strength in time. We
demonstrate that subdiffusion is speeded up to normal diffusion for interacting
disordered and kicked atomic systems. The door is open to test these
theoretical results experimentally, and to attack similar computational quests

Localized modes in mini-gaps opened by periodically modulated intersite coupling in two-dimensional nonlinear lattices
Spatially periodic modulation of the intersite coupling in two-dimensional
(2D) nonlinear lattices modifies the eigenvalue spectrum by opening mini-gaps
in it. This work aims to build stable localized modes in the new bandgaps.
Numerical analysis shows that single-peak and composite two- and four-peak
discrete static solitons and breathers emerge as such modes in certain
parameter areas inside the mini-gaps of the 2D superlattice induced by the
periodic modulation of the intersite coupling along both directions.The
single-peak solitons and four-peak discrete solitons are stable in a part of
their existence domain, while unstable stationary states (in particular,
two-soliton complexes) may readily transform into robust localized breathers.Comment: Chaos, in pres
Nonlinear symmetry breaking of Aharonov-Bohm cages
We study the influence of mean field cubic nonlinearity on Aharonov-Bohm
caging in a diamond lattice with synthetic magnetic flux. For sufficiently weak
nonlinearities the Aharonov-Bohm caging persists as periodic nonlinear
breathing dynamics. Above a critical nonlinearity, symmetry breaking induces a
sharp transition in the dynamics and enables stronger wavepacket spreading.
This transition is distinct from other flatband networks, where continuous
spreading is induced by effective nonlinear hopping or resonances with
delocalized modes, and is in contrast to the quantum limit, where two-particle
hopping enables arbitrarily large spreading. This nonlinear symmetry breaking
transition is readily observable in femtosecond laser-written waveguide arrays.Comment: 6 pages, 5 figure
Influence of different disorder types on Aharonov-Bohm caging in the diamond chain
The linear diamond chain with fine-tuned effective magnetic flux has a
completely flat energy spectrum and compactly-localized eigenmodes, forming an
Aharonov-Bohm cage. We study numerically how this localization is affected by
different types of disorder (static and time-evolving) relevant to recent
realizations of Aharonov-Bohm cages in periodically-modulated optical waveguide
arrays. We demonstrate robustness of localization under static and
periodically-evolving disorder, while in contrast non-quenched (time-dependent)
disorder leads to wavepacket spreading and delocalization.Comment: 13 figure
Soliton stability and collapse in the discrete nonpolynomial Schrodinger equation with dipole-dipole interactions
The stability and collapse of fundamental unstaggered bright solitons in the
discrete Schrodinger equation with the nonpolynomial on-site nonlinearity,
which models a nearly one-dimensional Bose-Einstein condensate trapped in a
deep optical lattice, are studied in the presence of the long-range
dipole-dipole (DD) interactions. The cases of both attractive and repulsive
contact and DD interaction are considered. The results are summarized in the
form of stability/collapse diagrams in the parametric space of the model, which
demonstrate that the the attractive DD interactions stabilize the solitons and
help to prevent the collapse. Mobility of the discrete solitons is briefly
considered too.Comment: 6 figure
Transition to miscibility in linearly coupled binary dipolar Bose-Einstein condensates
We investigate effects of dipole-dipole (DD) interactions on
immiscibility-miscibility transitions (IMTs) in two-component Bose-Einstein
condensates (BECs) trapped in the harmonic-oscillator (HO) potential, with the
components linearly coupled by a resonant electromagnetic field (accordingly,
the components represent two different spin states of the same atom). The
problem is studied by means of direct numerical simulations. Different mutual
orientations of the dipolar moments in the two components are considered. It is
shown that, in the binary BEC formed by dipoles with the same orientation and
equal magnitudes, the IMT cannot be induced by the DD interaction alone, being
possible only in the presence of the linear coupling between the components,
while the miscibility threshold is affected by the DD interactions. However, in
the binary condensate with the two dipolar components polarized in opposite
directions, the IMT can be induced \emph{without} any linear coupling. Further,
we demonstrate that those miscible and immiscible localized states, formed in
the presence of the DD interactions, which are unstable evolve into robust
breathers, which tend to keep the original miscibility or immiscibility,
respectively. An exception is the case of a very strong DD attraction, when
narrow stationary modes are destroyed by the instability. The binary BEC
composed of co-polarized dipoles with different magnitudes are briefly
considered too.Comment: 10 figure
Composite localized modes in discretized spin-orbit-coupled Bose-Einstein condensates
We introduce a discrete model for binary spin-orbit-coupled (SOC)
Bose-Einstein condensates (BEC) trapped in a deep one-dimensional optical
lattice. Two different types of the couplings are considered, with spatial
derivatives acting inside each species, or between the species. The discrete
system with inter-site couplings dominated by the SOC, while the usual hopping
is negligible, \textit{emulates} condensates composed of extremely heavy atoms,
as well as those with opposite signs of the effective atomic masses in the two
components.\ Stable localized composite states of miscible and immiscible types
are constructed. The effect of the SOC on the immiscibility-miscibility
transition in the localized complexes, which emulates the phase transition
between insulating and conducting states in semiconductors, is studied.Comment: Journal of Physics B , in pres
Neural network modeling methods for predicting the air parameters in the city of Tuzla
According to the report of the World Health Organization, the city of Tuzla is the second in the world, and the first in Europe in terms of the number of diseases caused by air pollution. Tuzla Canton since 2003 has continuous air monitoring. Concentrations of individual pollutants exceed hourly, daily and annual limit values. In this paper, based on the existing results of air monitoring and meteorological data, using statistical methods and neural network modeling methods, unique and reliable models for predicting the concentration of NO2 in the air for the City of Tuzla have been developed. The results obtained using these models can be used in strategic decision-making processes and activities related to air quality control and management. This paper, on the example of the City of Tuzla, showed that using existing air monitoring data, concentrations of pollutants can be predicted for a longer period of time, using artificial intelligence methods. Reliable models with a high correlation coefficient can be obtained. In the case of a short or long interruption of the measurement of pollutant concentrations for the City of Tuzla with the help of models, which are the result of this work, it is possible to predict the concentrations of pollutants and plan to take measures based on them
Coupled vortex generator in active multi-core fibers
Optical vortex is a coherent localized structure carrying energy around the pivot point. It is characterized by an optical angular momentum (OAM) mathematically described by azimuthal phase term exp(ilφ). Here, the integer number l stands for the winding number or topological charge of the vortex [1]. Particularly interesting are vortices generated in discrete systems [2]. They are specified by quantized topological charge and exhibit inherent robustness on perturbations within the system [3]. One of the structures that support discrete vortices is multi-core fiber (MCF) [4]. Here, we study MCF structure composed of two concentric hexagonal rings, A and B (Fig. 1). Beside equal coupling constants among nearest sites of A and B ring, we also consider a presence of artificial flux (Φ) which affects coupling between sites in the A ring [5]. The presence of artificial flux does not change the topological charge of vortices, only shifts their corresponding eigenvalues. Moreover, vortex excitation in one of the rings produces a regular periodical energy exchange between A and B rings in a form of stable breathing coupled-vortex structure. In passive MCF the vortex excitation is necessary to propagate vortex through the system. However, including the saturable gain and linear loss in the MCF, the vortices of different topological charge can be excited even from the uniform background by tuning the flux value. Numerical simulations show high robustness of newly formed vortices, which offers possibility to utilize the proposed setup as highly controllable vortex generator. Moreover, this can be of particular importance in the ring array based lasers [6,7].IX International School and Conference on Photonics : PHOTONICA2023 : book of abstracts; August 28 - September 1, 2023; Belgrad
Stable periodic density waves in dipolar Bose-Einstein condensates trapped in optical lattices
Density-wave patterns in (quasi-) discrete media with local interactions are
known to be unstable. We demonstrate that \emph{stable} double- and triple-
period patterns (DPPs and TPPs), with respect to the period of the underlying
lattice, exist in media with nonlocal nonlinearity. This is shown in detail for
dipolar Bose-Einstein condensates (BECs), loaded into a deep one-dimensional
(1D) optical lattice (OL), by means of analytical and numerical methods in the
tight-binding limit. The patterns featuring multiple periodicities are
generated by the modulational instability of the continuous-wave (CW) state,
whose period is identical to that of the OL. The DPP and TPP emerge via phase
transitions of the second and first kind, respectively. The emerging patterns
may be stable provided that the dipole-dipole (DD) interactions are repulsive
and sufficiently strong, in comparison with the local repulsive nonlinearity.
Within the set of the considered states, the TPPs realize a minimum of the free
energy. Accordingly, a vast stability region for the TPPs is found in the
parameter space, while the DPP\ stability region is relatively narrow. The same
mechanism may create stable density-wave patterns in other physical media
featuring nonlocal interactions, such as arrayed optical waveguides with
thermal nonlinearity.Comment: 7 pages, 4 figures, Phys. Rev. Lett., in pres
