Quantum phase transition of ultracold bosons in the presence of a non-Abelian synthetic gauge field

Tobias Graß, Kush Saha, K. Sengupta +1 more

We study the Mott phases and the superfluid-insulator transition of two-component ultracold bosons on a square optical lattice in the presence of a non-Abelian synthetic gauge field, which renders a SU(2)-hopping matrix for the bosons. Using a resummed hopping expansion, we calculate the excitation spectra in the Mott insulating phases and demonstrate that the superfluid-insulator phase boundary displays a nonmonotonic dependence on the gauge-field strength. We also compute the momentum distribution of the bosons in the presence of the non-Abelian field and show that they develop peaks at nonzero momenta as the superfluid-insulator transition point is approached from the Mott side. Finally, we study the superfluid phases near the transition and discuss the induced spatial pattern of the superfluid density due to the presence of the non-Abelian gauge potential.

Non-Abelian dynamical gauge field and topological superfluids in optical Raman lattice

Xiong-Jun Liu, Xin-Chi Zhou, Tian‐Hua Yang +1 more

Abstract We propose a novel scheme to realize non-Abelian dynamical gauge field for ultracold fermions, and uncover a new pairing mechanism for topological superfluidity. The dynamical gauge fields arise from a nontrivial compensation effect between the large Zeeman detuning and strong Hubbard interaction in a two-dimensional (2D) optical Raman lattice. The spin-flip transitions are forbidden by the large Zeeman detuning, but restored when the Zeeman splitting is compensated by Hubbard interaction, generating a dynamical non-Abelian gauge field that leads to a correlated 2D spin-orbit interaction depending on local state configurations. The topological superfluid from a novel pairing driven by 2D dynamical gauge fields is reached with high feasibility, showing a broad phase region without competing orders at relevant fillings, and can be easily prepared in experiment. Our work can open up an avenue to emulate non-Abelian dynamical gauge fields and exotic correlated topological phases with feasibility and particularly, paves the way for realizing the non-Abelian topological superfluids.
