Higher harmonic generation in interacting bosons in optical lattices

Arko Roy, Soumya Bera, Kush Saha

We study the generation of higher harmonics using intense light field in an interacting bosonic gas loaded in a one-dimensional optical lattice. We find that the strong light pulse can generate reasonably high harmonics in the insulating regime, while the superfluid regime exhibits only a few harmonics. In the insulating regime, the number of harmonics increases with the variation in the strength of the light field. This originates primarily due to the field-driven resonant and non-resonant excitations in the neutral Mott state and their recombination with the ground state. If the repulsive interaction between two atoms ($U$) is close to the strength of the light field ($A_0$), the resonant quasiparticle-quasihole pairs on nearest-neighbor sites, namely dipole states are found to play a dominant role in the generating higher harmonics. However, in the strong-field limit $A_0\gg U$, the nonresonant states where quasiparticle-quasihole pairs are not on nearest-neighbor sites give rise to higher harmonics. We conclude with a possible experimental outlook of the obtained results.

Synthetic magnetic fields for cold erbium atoms

Daniel Babik, Roberto Vittorio Roell, David Helten +2 more

The implementation of the fractional quantum Hall effect in ultracold atomic quantum gases remains, despite substantial advances in the field, a major challenge. Since atoms are electrically neutral, a key ingredient is the generation of sufficiently strong artificial gauge fields. Here we theoretically investigate the synthetization of such fields for bosonic erbium atoms by phase imprinting with two counterpropagating optical Raman beams. Given the nonvanishing orbital angular momentum of the rare-earth atomic species erbium in the electronic ground state and the availability of narrow-line transitions, heating from photon scattering is expected to be lower than in atomic alkali-metal species. We give a parameter regime for which strong synthetic magnetic fields with good spatial homogeneity are predicted. We also estimate the size of the Laughlin gap expected from the $s$-wave contribution of the interactions for typical experimental parameters of a two-dimensional atomic erbium microcloud. Our analysis shows that cold rare-earth atomic ensembles are highly attractive candidate systems for experimental explorations of the fractional quantum Hall regime.

High-Harmonic Generation in Strongly Correlated Insulators

We discuss the physics of high-harmonic generation in the Mott insulator, a standard strongly correlated state. We reveal the important role of many-body elemental excitations as well as correlations between charge and spin.

Electric-Field-Driven Resistive Switching in the Dissipative Hubbard Model

Jiajun Li, Camille Aron, Gabriel Kotliar +1 more

We study how strongly correlated electrons on a dissipative lattice evolve out of equilibrium under a constant electric field, focusing on the extent of the linear regime and hysteretic nonlinear effects at higher fields. We access the nonequilibrium steady states, nonperturbatively in both the field and the electronic interactions, by means of a nonequilibrium dynamical mean-field theory in the Coulomb gauge. The linear response regime, limited by Joule heating, breaks down at fields much smaller than the quasiparticle energy scale. For large electronic interactions, strong but experimentally accessible electric fields can induce a resistive switching by driving the strongly correlated metal into a Mott insulator. We predict a nonmonotonic upper switching field due to an interplay of particle renormalization and the field-driven temperature. Hysteretic I-V curves suggest that the nonequilibrium current is carried through a spatially inhomogeneous metal-insulator mixed state.

Measuring Hall voltage and Hall resistance in an atom-based quantum simulator

Tianwei Zhou, T. Beller, G. Masini +7 more

In the Hall effect, a voltage drop develops perpendicularly to the current flow in the presence of a magnetic field, leading to a transverse Hall resistance. Recent developments with quantum simulators have unveiled strongly correlated and universal manifestations of the Hall effect. However, a direct measurement of the Hall voltage and of the Hall resistance in a non-electronic system of strongly interacting fermions was not achieved to date. Here, we demonstrate a technique for measuring the Hall voltage in a neutral-atom-based quantum simulator. From that we provide the first direct measurement of the Hall resistance in a cold-atom analogue of a solid-state Hall bar and study its dependence on the carrier density, along with theoretical analyses. Our work closes a major gap between analogue quantum simulations and measurements performed in solid-state systems, providing a key tool for the exploration of the Hall effect in highly tunable and strongly correlated systems. The authors report an experimental study of the Hall effect measuring electrical quantities in ultracold fermionic quantum simulators. This provides a way forward in measuring transport properties in these platforms and verifying long-standing theoretical predictions.
