We consider a realistic model, i.e., ultracold atoms in a driven optical lattice, to realize phase space crystals [Phys. Rev. Lett. 111, 205303 (2013)]. The corresponding lattice structure in phase space is more complex and contains rich…

We present a modification of exactly solvable spin-(1/2) Kitaev model on the decorated honeycomb lattice, with a ground state of "spin metal" type. The model is diagonalized in terms of Majorana fermions; the latter form a 2D gapless state…

Understanding exotic forms of magnetism in quantum mechanical systems is a central goal of modern condensed matter physics, with implications from high temperature superconductors to spintronic devices. Simulating magnetic materials in the…

We report the experimental realization of a topological Creutz ladder for ultracold fermionic atoms in a resonantly driven 1D optical lattice. The two-leg ladder consists of the two lowest orbital states of the optical lattice and the cross…

We systematically test a quasi-classical spin model of a large spin-lattice in energy space, with a tunable, reversible Hamiltonian and effective long-range interactions. The system is simulated by a weakly interacting Fermi gas undergoing…

We demonstrate that a triangular optical lattice of two atomic species, bosonic or fermionic, can be employed to generate a variety of novel spin-1/2 Hamiltonians. These include effective three-spin interactions resulting from the…

We show that resonant dipole-dipole interactions between Rydberg atoms in a triangular lattice can give rise to artificial magnetic fields for spin excitations. We consider the coherent dipole-dipole coupling between $np$ and $ns$ Rydberg…

We study a three-components fermionic gas loaded in a one-dimensional optical trap at half-filling. We find that the system is fully gapped and may order into 8 possible phases: four 2$k_F$ atomic density wave and spin-Peierls phases with…

Emergent phenomena and functions arising from topological electron-spin textures in real space or momentum space are attracting growing interest for new concept of states of matter as well as for possible applications to spintronics. One…

We study a mixture of spin-$1$ bosonic and spin-$1/2$ fermionic cold atoms, e.g., $^{87}$Rb and $^{6}$Li, confined in a triangular optical lattice. With fermions at $3/4$ filling, Fermi surface nesting leads to spontaneous formation of…

We study a spin-polarized degenerate Fermi gas interacting via a p-wave Feshbach resonance in an optical lattice. The strong confinement available in this system allows us to realize one- and two-dimensional gases and therefore to restrict…

We propose and implement a lattice scheme for coherently manipulating atomic spins. Using the vector light shift and a superlattice structure, we demonstrate experimentally the capability on parallel spin addressing in double-wells and…

Materials featuring touching points, localized states, and flat bands are of great interest in condensed matter and artificial systems due to their implications in topology, quantum geometry, superconductivity, and interactions. In this…

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…

A Fermi-liquid (FL) with spin-orbit coupling (SOC) supports a special type of collective modes--chiral spin waves--which are oscillations of magnetization even in the absence of the external magnetic field. We study the chiral spin waves of…

We study the dynamical generation and storage of spin squeezed states, as well as more entangled states up to macroscopic superpositions, in a system composed of a few ultra-cold atoms trapped in a one-dimensional optical lattice. The…

In this letter, we analyze the topological response of a fermionic model defined on the Lieb lattice in presence of an electromagnetic field. The tight-binding model is built in terms of three species of spinless fermions and supports a…

We numerically study the behavior of spin--$1/2$ fermions on a two-dimensional square lattice subject to a uniform magnetic field, where opposite spins interact via an on-site attractive interaction. Starting from the non-interacting case…

Microscopic spin interaction processes are fundamental for global static and dynamical magnetic properties of many-body systems. Quantum gases as pure and well isolated systems offer intriguing possibilities to study basic magnetic…

We investigate the single-particle and collective excitations of a Rashba spin-orbit coupled atomic Fermi gas with attractive interaction, loaded in a two dimensional (2D) square optical lattice, in the presence of an effective out-of-plane…
