Particle number fractionalization of an atomic Fermi-Dirac gas in an optical lattice.
We show that a dilute two-species gas of Fermi-Dirac alkali-metal atoms in a periodic optical lattice may exhibit fractionalization of the particle number when the two components are coupled via a coherent electromagnetic field with a topologically nontrivial phase profile. This results in fractional eigenvalues of the spin operator with vanishing fluctuations. The fractional part can be accura...
متن کاملOptical detection of fractional particle number in an atomic Fermi-Dirac gas.
We study theoretically a Fermi-Dirac atomic gas in a one-dimensional optical lattice coupled to a coherent electromagnetic field with a topologically nontrivial soliton phase profile. We argue that the resulting fractional eigenvalues of the particle number operator can be detected via light scattering. This could be a truly quantum mechanical measurement of particle number fractionalization in...
متن کاملNontrivial Haldane phase of an atomic two-component Fermi gas trapped in a 1D optical lattice.
We propose a method to create a nontrivial Haldane phase in an atomic two-component Fermi gas loaded on a one-dimensional optical lattice with trap potential. The Haldane phase is naturally formed on a p-band Mott core in a wide range of the strong on-site repulsive interaction. The present proposal is composed of two steps, one of which is theoretical derivation of an effective 1D S=1 interact...

متن کاملMagnetic structure of an imbalanced Fermi gas in an optical lattice
We analyze the repulsive fermionic Hubbard model on square and cubic lattices with spin imbalance and in the presence of a parabolic confinement. We analyze the magnetic structure as a function of the repulsive interaction strength and polarization. In the first part of the article, we perform unrestricted Hartree-Fock calculations for the two-dimensional (2D) case and find that above a critica...
