a two-leg ladder geometry in the presence of a homogeneous flux. Our work is motivated by …

Chiral dynamics of ultracold atoms under a tunable SU (2) synthetic gauge field

Q Liang, Z Dong, JS Pan, H Wang, H Li, Z Yang, W Yi… - Nature Physics, 2024 - nature.com
Surface currents arise in superconductors under magnetic fields and are a key signature of
the Meissner effect. Similarly, chiral dynamics have been observed in quantum simulators …

Laughlin-like states in bosonic and fermionic atomic synthetic ladders

M Calvanese Strinati, E Cornfeld, D Rossini… - Physical Review X, 2017 - APS
