A solenoidal synthetic field and the non-Abelian Aharonov-Bohm effects in neutral atoms
A solenoidal synthetic field and the non-Abelian Aharonov-Bohm effects in neutral atoms
Cold neutral atoms provide a versatile and controllable platform for emulating various quantum systems. Despite efforts to develop artificial gauge fields in these systems, realizing a unique ideal-solenoid-shaped magnetic field within the quantum domain in any real-world physical system remains elusive. Here we propose a scheme to generate a "hairline" …
