We propose a model with quantum bosons on the fcc lattice, which has a stable algebraic Bose liquid phase at low energy. We show that this phase is described by emergent quantum gravity at the Gaussian z = 3 Lifshitz fixed point in 3+1…
When cold atoms are trapped in a square or cubic optical lattice, it should be possible to pump the atoms into excited $p-$level orbitals within each well. Following earlier work, we explore the metastable equilibrium that can be…
