Observation of compact localized states in synthetic Floquet-Lieb topological photonic lattices

Abstract Flat bands are unique quantum states in translationally-invariant lattices that are characterized by dispersionless energy bands and compact localized Wannier functions. In static, tight-binding systems, topologically nontrivial and gapped, perfectly flat bands require infinite hopping rang...
