Momentum resolved Floquet-engineered pair and single particle filter in the Fermi Hubbard model

Abstract

We investigate the transport properties of a Fermi-Hubbard chain with an impurity which is formed by a site with a periodically modulated chemical potential. We determine the momentum resolved transmission through this impurity in dependence of the modulation frequency and strength for a single particle and a pair of fermions. We find that the pair transmission has a very distinct behaviour from the single particle transmission. Different situations can occur, where only the single particle or the pair with a certain momentum are transmitted or filtered out.
