Ultracold Fermions in a Cavity-Induced Artificial Magnetic Field

Ultracold Fermions in a Cavity-Induced Artificial Magnetic Field

We propose how a fermionic quantum gas confined to an optical lattice and coupled to an optical cavity can self-organize into a state where the spontaneously emerging cavity field amplitude induces an artificial magnetic field. The fermions form either a chiral insulator or a chiral liquid carrying chiral currents. The …
