A cold-atom quantum simulator for SU(2) Yang-Mills lattice gauge theory
Erez Zohar, J. Ignacio Cirac, Benni Reznik
Non-abelian gauge theories play an important role in the standard model of particle physics, and unfold a partially unexplored world of exciting physical phenomena. In this letter,…

Simulating 2+1d Lattice QED with dynamical matter using ultracold atoms
Erez Zohar, J. Ignacio Cirac, Benni Reznik
We suggest a method to simulate lattice compact Quantum Electrodynamics (cQED) using ultracold atoms in optical lattices, which includes dynamical Dirac fermions in 2+1 dimensions.…

Topological Wilson-loop area law manifested using a superposition of loops
Erez Zohar, Benni Reznik
We introduce a new topological effect involving interference of two meson loops, manifesting a path-independent topological area dependence. The effect also draws a connection betw…
