Synthetic gauge field in two interacting ultracold atomic gases without an optical lattice
Bibliographic record
Abstract
A two-dimensional Fock-state lattice (FSL) is constructed from the many-body states of two interacting two-mode quantum gases. By periodically driving the interspecies interactions and pulsing the tunneling between the two modes of each gas, a synthetic gauge field is generated. We derive an effective Hamiltonian in the short pulse limit which resembles the Harper-Hofstadter Hamiltonian where the magnetic flux per plaquette is controlled by the ratio of the interaction energy and the driving frequency. The quasispectrum of the Floquet operator of the driving sequence shows the celebrated Hofstadter's butterfly pattern as well as the existence of edge states. From the calculation of the local Chern marker, we establish that the FSL has nontrivial topology and by simulating the dynamics of the edge states, show that they exhibit chirality. Finally, the inclusion of intraspecies interactions creates an overall harmonic trap in the lattice and introduces the nonlinear effect of macroscopic quantum self-trapping, which is shown to hinder movement along the edges of the lattice. This work introduces an avenue to explore synthetic gauge fields and the link between condensed matter systems and quantum gases.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
