Experimental realization of strong effective magnetic fields in optical superlattice potentials
Monika Aidelsburger, Marcos Atala, Sylvain Nascimbène +3
We present the experimental generation of large effective magnetic fields for ultracold atoms using photon-assisted tunneling in an optical superlattice. The underlying method does…
Anisotropic quantum quench in the presence of frustration or background gauge fields: A probe of bulk currents and topological chiral edge modes
Matthew Killi, Stefan Trotzky, Arun Paramekanti
Bosons and fermions, in the presence of frustration or background gauge fields, can form manybody ground states that support equilibrium 'charge' or 'spin' currents. Motivated by t…
Experimental realization of plaquette resonating valence bond states with ultracold atoms in optical superlattices
Sylvain Nascimbène, Yu-Ao Chen, Macros Atala +4
The concept of valence bond resonance plays a fundamental role in the theory of the chemical bond and is believed to lie at the heart of many-body quantum physical phenomena. Here…
