Cavity-induced generation of non-trivial topological states in a two-dimensional Fermi gas
arXiv:1611.08463 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevA.94.061603
Abstract
We propose how topologically non-trivial states can dynamically organize in a fermionic quantum gas which is confined to a two-dimensional optical lattice potential and coupled to the field of an optical cavity. The spontaneously emerging cavity field induces together with coherent pump laser fields a dynamical gauge field for the atoms. Upon adiabatic elimination of the cavity degree of freedom, the system is described by an effective Hofstadter model with a self-consistency condition which determines the tunneling amplitude along the cavity direction. The fermions are found to self-organize into topologically non-trivial states which carry an extended edge state for a finite system size. Due to the dissipative nature of the cavity field, the topological steady states are protected from external perturbations.
