Recent years have seen tremendous progress in the theoretical understanding of quantum
systems driven dissipatively by coupling to different baths at their edges. This was possible …

Engineering optical lattices with laser-induced tunnelling amplitudes has enabled the
realization of artificial magnetic fields with remarkable tunability. Here, we report on the …

We investigate the effect of a magnetic field on a bosonic ladder. We show that such a
system leads to the one-dimensional equivalent of a vortex lattice in a superconductor. We …

We study the quantum phases of bosons with repulsive contact interactions on a two-leg
ladder in the presence of a uniform Abelian gauge field. The model realizes many …

The interplay between spontaneous symmetry breaking in many-body systems, the wavelike
nature of quantum particles and lattice effects produces an extraordinary behavior of the …

Abstract We consider a Bose–Hubbard ladder subject to an artificial magnetic flux and
discuss its different ground states, their physical properties, and the quantum phase …

We introduce generic bosonic models exemplifying that chiral Meissner currents can persist
in insulating phases of matter. We first consider interacting bosons on a two-leg ladder. The …

We show how to solve a large class of Lindblad master equations for noninteracting
particles on L sites. In the first portion we concentrate on bosonic particles, while in the …

We theoretically study the Hall effect on interacting M-leg ladder systems, comparing
different measures and properties of the zero temperature Hall response in the limit of weak …

In the context of experimental advances in the realization of artificial magnetic fields in
quantum gases, we discuss feasible schemes to extend measurements of the Hall …
