Nonequilibrium phases of ultracold bosons with cavity-induced dynamic gauge fields
Nonequilibrium phases of ultracold bosons with cavity-induced dynamic gauge fields
Gauge fields are a central concept in fundamental theories of physics, and responsible for mediating long-range interactions between elementary particles. Recently, it has been proposed that dynamical gauge fields can be naturally engineered by photons in composite, neutral quantum gas--cavity systems using suitable atom-photon interactions. Here we comprehensively investigate nonequilibrium …
