Understanding the magnetic response of the normal state of the cuprates is considered a key piece in solving the puzzle of their high-temperature superconductivity. The essential physics of these materials is believed to be captured by the Fermi-Hubbard model, a minimal model that has been realized with cold atoms in optical lattices. Here we report on site-resolved measurements of the Fermi-Hubbard model in a spin-imbalanced atomic gas, allowing us to explore the response of the system to large effective magnetic fields. We observe short-range canted antiferromagnetism at half-filling with stronger spin correlations in the direction orthogonal to the magnetization, in contrast with the spin-balanced case where identical correlations are measured for any projection of the pseudospin. The rotational anisotropy of the spin correlators is found to increase with polarization and with distance between the spins. Away from half-filling, the polarization of the gas exhibits non-monotonic behavior with doping for strong interactions, resembling the behavior of the magnetic susceptibility in the cuprates. We compare our measurements to predictions from Determinantal Quantum Monte Carlo (DQMC) and Numerical Linked Cluster Expansion (NLCE) algorithms and find good agreement. Calculations on the doped system are near the limits of these techniques, illustrating the value of cold atom quantum simulations for studying strongly-correlated materials.
Observation of topological phases beyond two-dimension (2D) has been an open challenge for ultracold atoms. Here, we realize for the first time a 3D spin-orbit coupled nodal-line semimetal in an optical lattice and observe the bulk line nodes with ul

We propose to realize the anisotropic triangular-lattice Bose-Hubbard model with positive tunneling matrix elements by using ultracold atoms in an optical lattice dressed by a fast lattice oscillation. This model exhibits frustrated antiferromagnetis
We analyze a system of two-component fermions which interact via a Feshbach resonance in the presence of a three-dimensional lattice potential. By expressing a two-channel model of the resonance in the basis of Bloch states appropriate for the lattic
