Fractional quantum Hall effect in optical lattices
Fractional quantum Hall effect in optical lattices
We analyze a recently proposed method to create fractional quantum Hall (FQH) states of atoms confined in optical lattices [A. S\o{}rensen et al., Phys. Rev. Lett. 94, 086803 (2005)]. Extending the previous work, we investigate conditions under which the FQH effect can be achieved for bosons on a lattice with …
