Best for students, educators, and scientifically curious readers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis work reports on the generation of artificial magnetic fields with ultracold atoms in optical lattices using laser-assisted tunneling, as well as on the first Chern-number measurement in a non-electronic system.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt starts with an introduction to the Hofstadter model, which describes the dynamics of charged particles on a square lattice subjected to strong magnetic fields. This model exhibits energy bands with non-zero topological invariants called Chern numbers, a property that is at the origin of the quantum Hall effect. The main part of the work discusses the realization of analog systems with ultracold neutral atoms using laser-assisted-tunneling techniques both from a theoretical and experimental point of view. Staggered, homogeneous and spin-dependent flux distributions are generated and characterized using two-dimensional optical super-lattice potentials. Additionally their topological properties are studied via the observation of bulk topological currents. \u003c\/p\u003eThe experimental techniques presented here offer a unique setting for studying topologically non-trivial systems with ultracold atoms.","brand":"Springer","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46421794488519,"sku":"1-99-536-000026","price":109.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0736\/9575\/6487\/files\/9783319258270.jpg?v=1776378506","url":"https:\/\/snowflakeskies.com\/products\/artificial-gauge-fields-with-ultracold-atoms-in-optical-lattices-2016","provider":"Snowflake Skies","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
