The use of coherent optical dressing of atomic levels allows the coupling of ultracold atoms to effective gauge fields. These can be used to generate effective magnetic fields, and have the potential to generate non-Abelian gauge fields. We consider a model of a gas of bosonic atoms coupled to a gauge field with U(2) symmetry, and with constant effective magnetic field. We include the effects of weak contact interactions by applying Gross-Pitaevskii mean-field theory. We study the effects of a U(2) non-Abelian gauge field on the vortex lattice phase induced by a uniform effective magnetic field, generated by an Abelian gauge field or, equivalently, by rotation of the gas. We show that, with increasing non-Abelian gauge field, the nature of the groundstate changes dramatically, with structural changes of the vortex lattice. We show that the effect of the non-Abelian gauge field is equivalent to the introduction of effective interactions with non-zero range. We also comment on the consequences of the non-Abelian gauge field for strongly correlated fractional quantum Hall states.
In this work we present an optical lattice setup to realize a full Dirac Hamiltonian in 2+1 dimensions. We show how all possible external potentials coupled to the Dirac field can arise from perturbations of the existing couplings of the honeycomb la
In this article we present a pedagogical discussion of some of the optomechanical properties of a high finesse cavity loaded with ultracold atoms in laser induced synthetic gauge fields of different types. Essentially, the subject matter of this arti
Gauge fields are central in our modern understanding of physics at all scales. At the highest energy scales known, the microscopic universe is governed by particles interacting with each other through the exchange of gauge bosons. At the largest leng
The study of the properties of quantum particles in a periodic potential subject to a magnetic field is an active area of research both in physics and mathematics; it has been and it is still deeply investigated. In this review we discuss how to impl
Scalable, coherent many-body systems can enable the realization of previously unexplored quantum phases and have the potential to exponentially speed up information processing. Thermal fluctuations are negligible and quantum effects govern the behavi
