Superfluid-insulator transition of ultracold bosons in an optical lattice in the presence of a synthetic magnetic field
We study the Mott insulator-superfluid transition of ultracold bosonic atoms in a two-dimensional square optical lattice in the presence of a synthetic magnetic field with p/q (p and q being co-prime integers) flux quanta passing through each lattice plaquette. We show that on approach to the transition from the Mott …
