Abstract: Aharonov-Bohm (AB) caging is the complete wavefunction localization effect in translational-invariant lattices induced by destructive phase interference. These phases originate from the gauge fields such as the penetrated magnetic fields, which are directly related to several novel topological quantum states of matter. Recently, this effect has shown significant potential for applications in quantum simulation and topological quantum computation. Here, we propose a scalable protocol to derive universal conditions for AB caging with multi-flux. The numerical simulations validate the theoretical predictions by directly observing AB caging phenomena. We also investigate the breakage of the caging effect with onsite detuning, decoherence and non-Hermitian transitions. Our protocol provides an alternative approach for advancing quantum simulation of exotic states of matter.
