Tunneling dynamics of bosons in the diamond lattice chain Project supported by the National Natural Science Foundation of China (Grant Nos. 11764039, 11475027, 11865014, 11865014, 11274255, and 11305132), the Natural Science Foundation of Gansu Province, China (Grant No. 17JR5RA076), and the Scientific Research Project of the Higher Education of Gansu Province, China (Grant No. 2016A-005). |
(color online) The effect of artificial magnetic flux ϕ on the tunneling dynamics for bosons initially configured as {an, bn, cn} = {1, 0, −1}e−n2/2σ2 (the eigenstate for the case of ϕ = εv = 0), which is demonstrated by the space–time evolution of the norm density pn(t) (the first row) and the corresponding evolution for bosons in single chain (a, b, and c chains) are depicted by |an(t)|2 (the second row), |bn(t)|2 (the third row), and |cn(t)|2 (the fourth row), respectively. |
