Devil's staircase of topological Peierls insulators and Peierls supersolids

Devil's staircase of topological Peierls insulators and Peierls supersolids

We consider a mixture of ultracold bosonic atoms on a one-dimensional lattice described by the XXZ-Bose-Hubbard model, where the tunneling of one species depends on the spin state of a second deeply trapped species. We show how the inclusion of antiferromagnetic interactions among the spin degrees of freedom generates a …
