We point out some major technical and conceptual mistakes which invalidate the conclusion drawn in Anyonic braiding in optical lattices by C. Zhang, V. W. Scarola, S. Tewari, and S. Das Sarma published in PNAS 104, 18415 (2007).

We investigate the properties of strongly interacting heteronuclear boson-boson mixtures loaded in realistic optical lattices, with particular emphasis on the physics of interfaces. In particular, we numerically reproduce the recent experimental obse rvation that the addition of a small fraction of K induces a significant loss of coherence in Rb, providing a simple explanation. We then investigate the robustness against the inhomogeneity typical of realistic experimental realizations of the glassy quantum emulsions recently predicted to occur in strongly interacting boson-boson mixtures on ideal homogeneous lattices.
Experiments with cold atoms trapped in optical lattices offer the potential to realize a variety of novel phases but suffer from severe spatial inhomogeneity that can obscure signatures of new phases of matter and phase boundaries. We use a high temp erature series expansion to show that compressibility in the core of a trapped Fermi-Hubbard system is related to measurements of changes in double occupancy. This core compressibility filters out edge effects, offering a direct probe of compressibility independent of inhomogeneity. A comparison with experiments is made.
Adiabatically exchanging anyons gives rise to topologically protected operations on the quantum state of the system, but the desired result is only achieved if the anyons are well separated, which requires a sufficiently large area. Being able to red uce the area needed for the exchange, however, would have several advantages, such as enabling a larger number of operations per area and allowing anyon exchange to be studied in smaller systems that are easier to handle. Here, we use optimization techniques to squeeze the charge distribution of Abelian anyons in lattice fractional quantum Hall models, and we show that the squeezed anyons can be exchanged within a smaller area with a close to ideal outcome. We first use a toy model consisting of a modified Laughlin trial state to show that one can shape the anyons without altering the exchange statistics under certain conditions. We then squeeze and braid anyons in the Kapit-Mueller model and an interacting Hofstadter model by adding suitable potentials. We consider a fixed system size, for which the charge distributions of the normal anyons overlap, and we find that the outcome of the exchange process is closer to the ideal value for the squeezed anyons. The time needed for the exchange is also important, and for a particular example we find that the duration needed for the process to be close to the adiabatic limit is about five times longer for the squeezed anyons when the path length is the same. Finally we show that the exchange outcome is robust with respect to small modifications of the potential away from the optimized value.
Ultra-cold atoms in optical lattices provide one of the most promising platforms for analog quantum simulations of complex quantum many-body systems. Large-size systems can now routinely be reached and are already used to probe a large variety of dif ferent physical situations, ranging from quantum phase transitions to artificial gauge theories. At the same time, measurement techniques are still limited and full tomography for these systems seems out of reach. Motivated by this observation, we present a method to directly detect and quantify to what extent a quantum state deviates from a local Gaussian description, based on available noise correlation measurements from in-situ and time-of-flight measurements. This is an indicator of the significance of strong correlations in ground and thermal states, as Gaussian states are precisely the ground and thermal states of non-interacting models. We connect our findings, augmented by numerical tensor network simulations, to notions of equilibration, disordered systems and the suppression of transport in Anderson insulators.
