The\u0000canonical example is the flat Landau levels in a homogeneous magnetic field.\u0000Several significant problems -- including flat bands in moir'e structures --\u0000are related to the problem of a particle moving in an inhomogeneous magnetic\u0000field with zero total flux. We demonstrate that while perfectly flat bands in\u0000such cases are impossible, the introduction of a \"non-Abelian component\" -- a\u0000spin field with zero total curvature -- can lead to perfect localization.\u0000Several exactly solvable models are constructed: (i) a half-space up/down field\u0000with a sharp 1D boundary; (ii) an alternating up/down field periodic in one\u0000direction on a cylinder; and (iii) a doubly periodic alternating field on a\u0000torus. The exact solution on the torus is expressed in terms of elliptic\u0000functions. It is shown that flat bands are only possible for certain magic\u0000values of the field corresponding to a quantized flux through an individual\u0000tile.

We\u0000investigate the distillation of coherent states from coherent thermal states\u0000under general phase-insensitive operations, and find a distillation protocol\u0000that is optimal in the asymptotic regime, i.e., when the number of input copies\u0000is much greater than 1. Remarkably, we find that in this regime, the error --\u0000as quantified by infidelity (one minus the fidelity) of the output state with\u0000the desired coherent state -- is proportional to the inverse of the purity of\u0000coherence of the input state, a quantity obtained from the\u0000Right-Logarithmic-Derivative (RLD) Fisher information metric, hence revealing\u0000an operational interpretation of this quantity. The heart of this protocol is a\u0000phase-insensitive channel that optimally converts an input coherent thermal\u0000state with high amplitude, into an output with significantly lower amplitude\u0000and temperature. Under this channel, the purity of coherence remains\u0000asymptotically conserved. While both the input and desired output are Gaussian\u0000states, we find that the optimal protocol cannot be a Gaussian channel. Among\u0000Gaussian phase-insensitive channels, the optimal distillation protocol is a\u0000simple linear optical scheme that can be implemented with beam splitters.","PeriodicalId":501312,"journal":{"name":"arXiv - MATH - Mathematical Physics","volume":"39 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-09-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142216520","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
