Edge States and Topological Phases in One-Dimensional Optical Superlattices

Li-Jun Lang, Xiaoming Cai, Shu Chen

We show that one-dimensional quasiperiodic optical lattice systems can exhibit edge states and topological phases which are generally believed to appear in two-dimensional systems. When the Fermi energy lies in gaps, the Fermi system on the optical superlattice is a topological insulator characterized by a nonzero topological invariant. The topological nature can be revealed by observing the density profile of a trapped fermion system, which displays plateaus with their positions uniquely determined by the ration of wavelengths of the bichromatic optical lattice. The butterflylike spectrum of the superlattice system can be also determined from the finite-temperature density profiles of the trapped fermion system. This finding opens an alternative avenue to study the topological phases and Hofstadter-like spectrum in one-dimensional optical lattices.

Generalized Hofstadter model on a cubic optical lattice: From nodal bands to the three-dimensional quantum Hall effect

Dan-Wei Zhang, Rui‐Bin Liu, Shi-Liang Zhu

We propose that a tunable generalized three-dimensional Hofstadter Hamiltonian can be realized by engineering the Raman-assisted hopping of ultracold atoms in a cubic optical lattice. The Hamiltonian describes a periodic lattice system under artificial magnetic fluxes in three dimensions. For certain hopping configurations, the bulk bands can have Weyl points and nodal loops, respectively, allowing the study of both the two nodal semimetal states within this system. Furthermore, we illustrate that with proper rational fluxes and hopping parameters, the system can exhibit the three-dimensional quantum Hall effect when the Fermi level lies in the band gaps, which is topologically characterized by one or two nonzero Chern numbers. Our proposed optical-lattice system provides a promising platform for exploring various exotic topological phases in three dimensions.
