Ultracold atomic gases in ‘artificial’ gauge fields

Maciej Lewenstein, Anna Sanpera, V. Ahufinger

This chapter discusses the physics of ultracold gases in ‘artificial’ magnetic fields. The analogy between electronic systems in the presence of external magnetic fields and ultracold gases in rotating traps leads to the familiar concepts of Landau Levels, the integer Hall effect, the fractional quantum Hall effect, and laughing states for neutral particles. The second part analyses the possibility of simulating Abelian and non Abelian Lattice Gauge theories with ultracold gases. Finally, the state-of-the-art in generating artificial magnetic fields for ultracold gases is reviewed.

Creation of an effective magnetic field in ultracold atomic gases using electromagnetically induced transparency

Gediminas Juzeliūnas, Patrik Öhberg

We consider the influence of the control and probe beams in the electromagnetically induced transparency configuration on the mechanical motion of ultracold atomic gases (atomic Bose-Einstein condensates or degenerate Fermi gases). We carry out a microscopic analysis of the interplay between radiation and matter and show that the two beams of light can provide an effective magnetic field acting on electrically neutral atoms in the case where the probe beam has an orbital angular momentum. As an example, we demonstrate how a Meissner-like effect can be created in an atomic Bose-Einstein condensate.

Simulating quantum Hall physics in ultracold atomic gases: prospects and challenges

Sylvain Nascimbène

This proceedings presents recent advancements in the realization of topological states of matter using ultracold atomic gases. We focus on the simulation of the quantum Hall effect, originally discovered in two-dimensional electron gases subjected to a magnetic field. Given that ultracold atoms are neutral, simulating the effect of a magnetic field requires an ad-hoc technique. We review various methods developed for this purpose, highlighting their respective advantages and limitations. Furthermore, we explore the extension of these techniques to interacting quantum gases within topological bands, aiming to create analogs of fractional quantum Hall states. These many-body states are distinguished by their topological order, which is characterized by long-range entanglement among particles and the emergence of low-lying excitations exhibiting fractional quantum statistics. The discussion will encompass the current state of research and potential future directions in the field.
