Robust continuous symmetry breaking and multiversality in the chiral Dicke model

Nikolay Yegovtsev, Sayan Choudhury, W. Vincent Liu

The Dicke model (DM) serves as a paradigm for understanding collective light-matter interactions. We introduce the chiral Dicke model, a generalization where an atomic ensemble cou…

Double-exchange ferromagnetism of fermionic atoms in a -orbital hexagonal lattice

Haoran Sun, Erhai Zhao, Youjin Deng +1

A large class of correlated quantum materials feature strong Hund's coupling. Yet cold-atom quantum simulators have so far focused primarily on single-orbital Fermi-Hubbard systems…

Orbital Optical Raman Lattice

Zhi-Hao Huang, Kou-Han Ma, Bao-Zong Wang +2

Spin and orbital are two basic degrees of freedom that play significant roles in exploring exotic quantum phases in optical lattices with synthetic spin-orbit coupling (SOC) and hi…

Plasmonic Vortices Host Magnetoelectric Interactions

Atreyie Ghosh, Sena Yang, Yanan Dai +2

The vector cross product and pseudoscalar dot products of electric (E) and magnetic (H) fields are separately finite in vacuum transverse electric and magnetic (TEM) plane waves, a…

Exactly Solvable Points and Symmetry-Protected Topological Phases of Quantum Spins on a Zig-Zag Lattice

Haiyuan Zou, Erhai Zhao, Xi-Wen Guan +1

A large number of symmetry-protected topological (SPT) phases have been hypothesized for strongly interacting spin-1/2 systems in one dimension. Realizing these SPT phases, however…

Frustrated Magnetism of Dipolar Molecules on a Square Optical Lattice: Prediction of a Quantum Paramagnetic Ground State

Haiyuan Zou, Erhai Zhao, W. Vincent Liu

Motivated by the experimental realization of quantum spin models of polar molecule KRb in optical lattices, we analyze the spin 1/2 dipolar Heisenberg model with competing anisotro…
