Interacting gases with a synthetic gauge field in the synthetic dimension

Leonardo Mazza (Ecole Normale Supérieure / PSL Research University, CNRS)

Synthetic ladders realized with one-dimensional alkaline-earth(-like) fermionic gases and subject to a gauge field represent a promising environment for the investigation of quantum Hall physics with ultracold atoms. We unveil the existence of a hierarchy of fractional insulating and conducting states by means of both analytical bosonization techniques and numerical methods based on the density-matrix renormalization group algorithm. We show that such states can be exploited for constructing a topological Thouless pump where the charge transported after one cycle is quantized to fractional values and demonstrate this behavior with a full many-body time-dependent calculation.
