We study the importance of interband effects on the orbital susceptibility of three bands $alpha$-${cal T}_3$ tight-binding models. The particularity of these models is that the coupling between the three energy bands (which is encoded in the wavefunctions properties) can be tuned (by a parameter $alpha$) without any modification of the energy spectrum. Using the gauge-invariant perturbative formalism that we have recently developped, we obtain a generic formula of the orbital susceptibility of $alpha$-${cal T}_3$ tight-binding models. Considering then three characteristic examples that exhibit either Dirac, semi-Dirac or quadratic band touching, we show that by varying the parameter $alpha$ and thus the wavefunctions interband couplings, it is possible to drive a transition from a diamagnetic to a paramagnetic peak of the orbital susceptibility at the band touching. In the presence of a gap separating the dispersive bands, we show that the susceptibility inside the gap exhibits a similar dia to paramagnetic transition.
Tight-binding models for ultracold atoms in optical lattices can be properly defined by using the concept of maximally localized Wannier functions for composite bands. The basic principles of this approach are reviewed here, along with different appl
Quantum state transformations that are robust to experimental imperfections are important for applications in quantum information science and quantum sensing. Counterdiabatic (CD) approaches, which use knowledge of the underlying system Hamiltonian t
If a localized quantum state in a tight-binding model with structural aperiodicity is subject to noisy evolution, then it is generally expected to result in diffusion and delocalization. In this work, it is shown that the localized phase of the kicke
In this work we present a tight-binding model that allows to describe with a minimal amount of parameters the band structure of exciton-polariton lattices. This model based on $s$ and $p$ non-orthogonal photonic orbitals faithfully reproduces experim
We numerically analyze the distribution of scattering resonance widths in one- and quasi-one dimensional tight binding models, in the localized regime. We detect and discuss an algebraic decay of the distribution, similar, though not identical, to recent theoretical predictions.
