  "abstract": "We investigate reversible internal-state-selective wave-packet transport induced by spin-dependent Peierls phases in a two-dimensional nearest-neighbor Lieb lattice. The two conserved spin components experience effective fluxes $α_σ=α_{0}+s_σα_{s}$, where $s_{\\uparrow,\\downarrow}=\\pm1$. At the working point $α_{0}=α_{s}=1/4$, the spin-up and spin-down components experience $α_{\\uparrow}=1/2$ and $α_{\\downarrow}=0$, respectively. A band-resolved calculation in the $q=2$ magnetic unit cell shows that the spin-up spectrum contains two zero-energy flat subbands associated with the sublattice-imbalance flat-band sector, whereas the remaining four subbands retain finite bandwidths. The half-flux sector therefore fails the all-bands-flat condition and does not realize exact Aharonov--Bohm caging for a generic localized initial state. Nevertheless, real-time simulations reveal a pronounced suppression of spin-up propagation relative to the dispersive spin-down component, manifested by a smaller mean-square displacement and an enhanced finite-region retention probability over the pre-reflection time window. Reversing the state-dependent flux interchanges the slow and fast spin channels, while the dynamical contrast remains robust against moderate flux detuning. These results establish spin-dependent synthetic flux as a reversible means of controlling internal-state-resolved matter-wave transport without spin-flip processes or interactions, and provide complementary spectral and real-space criteria for distinguishing exact caging from finite-time dynamical slowing in atomic and photonic flat-band simulators.",
