We establish the phase diagram of the strongly interacting Bose-Hubbard model defined on
a two-leg ladder geometry in the presence of a homogeneous flux. Our work is motivated by …

The combination of interactions and static gauge fields plays a pivotal role in our
understanding of strongly correlated quantum matter. Cold atomic gases endowed with a …

We review recent developments regarding the quantum dynamics and many-body physics
with light, in superconducting circuits and Josephson analogues, by analogy with atomic …

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 …

We consider interacting bosonic particles on a two-leg triangular ladder in the presence of
an artificial gauge field. We employ density matrix renormalization group numerical …

Quantum gas systems are ideal analog quantum simulation platforms for tackling some of
the most challenging problems in strongly correlated quantum matter. However, they also …

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 …

The joint action of a magnetic field and of interactions is crucial for the appearance of exotic
quantum phenomena, such as the quantum Hall effect. Owing to their rich nuclear structure …

We propose a scheme to realize a frustrated Bose-Hubbard model with ultracold atoms in an
optical lattice that comprises the frustrated spin-1/2 quantum XX model. Our approach is …

Quantum simulators are attracting great interest because they promise insight into the
behavior of quantum many-body systems that are prohibitive for classical simulations. The …
