Tunable-spin-model generation with spin-orbit-coupled fermions in optical lattices
Tunable-spin-model generation with spin-orbit-coupled fermions in optical lattices
We study the dynamical behaviour of ultracold fermionic atoms loaded into an optical lattice under the presence of an effective magnetic flux, induced by spin-orbit coupled laser driving. At half filling, the resulting system can emulate a variety of iconic spin-1/2 models such as an Ising model, an XY model, …
