Artificial electromagnetism for neutral atoms: Escher staircase and Laughlin liquids
Artificial electromagnetism for neutral atoms: Escher staircase and Laughlin liquids
We present a method for creating fields that couple to neutral atoms in the same way that electromagnetic fields couple to charged particles. We show that this technique opens the door for a range of neutral atom experiments, including probing the interplay between periodic potentials and quantum Hall effects. Furthermore, …
