DISCRETE BREATHERS:

  • theory: classical, quantum, dissipation, fluctuations, transients, equilibrium

  • nonlinear optics: localizing light in coupled nonlinear optical waveguides - optical switches, tunable filters

  • Josephson Junction Arrays in the classical and quantum regime - localized excitations, tunable filters etc

  • spins: localized excitations in spin lattices

  • micromechanics: driven micromechanical cantilever arrays

  • molecules,solids: Selective bond excitations in molecules and solids - localization vs. tunneling, dissociation
