We use a neural network approach to explore the inverse problem of Bloch oscillations in a monoatomic linear chain: given a signal describing the path of oscillations of electrons as a function of time, we determine the strength of the applied field along the direction of motion or, equivalently, the lattice spacing. We find that the proposed approach has more than 80% of accuracy classifying the studied physical parameters.

We study the dynamics of an electron subjected to a static uniform electric field within a one-dimensional tight-binding model with a slowly varying aperiodic potential. The unbiased model is known to support phases of localized and extended one-elec tron states separated by two mobility edges. We show that the electric field promotes sustained Bloch oscillations of an initial Gaussian wave packet whose amplitude reflects the band width of extended states. The frequency of these oscillations exhibit unique features, such as a sensitivity to the initial wave packet position and a multimode structure for weak fields, originating from the characteristics of the underlying aperiodic potential.
We study the dynamics of an electron subjected to a uniform electric field within a tight-binding model with long-range-correlated diagonal disorder. The random distribution of site energies is assumed to have a power spectrum $S(k) sim 1/k^{alpha}$ with $alpha > 0$. Moura and Lyra [Phys. Rev. Lett. {bf 81}, 3735 (1998)] predicted that this model supports a phase of delocalized states at the band center, separated from localized states by two mobility edges, provided $alpha > 2$. We find clear signatures of Bloch-like oscillations of an initial Gaussian wave packet between the two mobility edges and determine the bandwidth of extended states, in perfect agreement with the zero-field prediction.
The dynamics of neural networks is often characterized by collective behavior and quasi-synchronous events, where a large fraction of neurons fire in short time intervals, separated by uncorrelated firing activity. These global temporal signals are c rucial for brain functioning. They strongly depend on the topology of the network and on the fluctuations of the connectivity. We propose a heterogeneous mean--field approach to neural dynamics on random networks, that explicitly preserves the disorder in the topology at growing network sizes, and leads to a set of self-consistent equations. Within this approach, we provide an effective description of microscopic and large scale temporal signals in a leaky integrate-and-fire model with short term plasticity, where quasi-synchronous events arise. Our equations provide a clear analytical picture of the dynamics, evidencing the contributions of both periodic (locked) and aperiodic (unlocked) neurons to the measurable average signal. In particular, we formulate and solve a global inverse problem of reconstructing the in-degree distribution from the knowledge of the average activity field. Our method is very general and applies to a large class of dynamical models on dense random networks.

To calculate the conductivity of a material having full knowledge of its composition is a reasonably simple task. To do the same in reverse, i.e., to find information about the composition of a device from its conductivity response alone, is very cha llenging and even more so in the presence of disorder. An inversion methodology capable of decoding the information contained in the conductivity response of disordered structures has been recently proposed but despite claims of generality and robustness, the method has only been used with 2D systems possessing relatively simple electronic structures. Here we put these claims to the test and generalise the inversion method to the case of monolayer MoS$_2$, a material whose electronic structure is far more complex and elaborate. Starting from the spectral function that describes the DC conductivity of a disordered sample of a single layered MoS$_2$ containing a small concentration of randomly dispersed vacancies, we are able to invert the signal and find the exact composition of defects with an impressive degree of accuracy. Remarkably, equally accurate results are obtained with the optical conductivity. This is indicative of a methodology that is indeed suitable to extract composition information from different 2D materials, regardless of their electronic structure complexity. Calculated conductivity results were used as a proxy for their experimental counterpart and were obtained with an efficient quantum transport code (KITE) based on a real-space multi-orbital tight-binding model with parameters generated by density functional theory.
We report new oscillations of wavepackets in quantum walks subjected to electric fields, that decorate the usual Bloch-Zener oscillations of insulators. The number of turning points (or sub-oscillations) within one Bloch period of these oscillations is found to be governed by the winding of the quasienergy spectrum. Thus, this provides a new physical manifestation of a topological property of periodically driven systems that can be probed experimentally. Our model, based on an oriented scattering network, is readily implementable in photonic and cold atomic setups.
