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 …

We propose a set of schemes to create and probe fractionally charged excitations of a
fractional Chern insulator state in an optical lattice. This includes the creation of localized …

We study the Mott phases and the superfluid-insulator transition of two-component ultracold
bosons on a square optical lattice in the presence of a non-Abelian synthetic gauge field …

We show how spectroscopic experiments on a small Laughlin droplet of rotating bosons can
directly demonstrate Haldane fractional exclusion statistics of quasihole excitations. The …

Strong synthetic magnetic fields have been successfully implemented in periodically driven
optical lattices. However, the interplay of the driving and interactions introduces detrimental …

Fractional quantum Hall systems are among the most exciting strongly correlated systems.
Accessing them microscopically via quantum simulations with ultracold atoms would be an …

We use the exact diagonalization method to analyze the possibility of generating strongly
correlated states in two-dimensional clouds of ultracold bosonic atoms that are subjected to …

I describe a lattice of asymmetrical qubit pairs in arbitrary dimension, with couplings
arranged so that the motion of single-qubit excited states mimics the behavior of charged …

Engineering strong p-wave interactions between fermions is one of the challenges in
modern quantum physics. Such interactions are responsible for a plethora of fascinating …

We study strongly correlated phases of a pseudo-spin-1 2 Bose gas in an artificial gauge
field using the exact diagonalization method. The atoms are confined in two dimensions and …
