Edge Transport in 2D Cold Atom Optical Lattices
V. W. Scarola, S. Das Sarma
We theoretically study the observable response of edge currents in two dimensional cold atom optical lattices. As an example we use Gutzwiller mean-field theory to relate persisten…
Probing -Spin Correlations in Optical Lattices
Chuanwei Zhang, V. W. Scarola, S. Das Sarma
We propose a technique to measure multi-spin correlation functions of arbitrary range as determined by the ground states of spinful cold atoms in optical lattices. We show that an…
Anyonic Braiding in Optical Lattices
Chuanwei Zhang, V. W. Scarola, Sumanta Tewari +1
Topological quantum states of matter, both Abelian and non-Abelian, are characterized by excitations whose wavefunctions undergo non-trivial statistical transformations as one exci…
Emergence of Artificial Photons in an Optical Lattice
Sumanta Tewari, V. W. Scarola, T. Senthil +1
We establish the theoretical feasibility of direct analog simulation of the compact U(1) lattice gauge theories in optical lattices with dipolar bosons. We discuss the realizabilit…
Searching for a Supersolid in Cold Atom Optical Lattices
V. W. Scarola, E. Demler, S. Das Sarma
We suggest a technique for the observation of a predicted supersolid phase in extended Bose-Hubbard models which are potentially realizable in cold atom optical lattice systems. In…
