摘要:

费米子哈伯德模型在描述强关联物质中起着基础性的作用。在这里,我们报告的实现这个哈密顿使用排斥相互作用的自旋混合物的超冷$^{40}$ K原子在三维光晶格。我们已经实现了一种新的方法来直接测量量子气体的可压缩性的陷阱使用原位成像和独立控制的外部限制和晶格深度。再加上从头算动力学平均场论计算的比较,我们展示了系统如何演变为增加限制从一个可压缩的稀金属在一个强相互作用的费米液体带绝缘状态。对于强相互作用,我们发现一个紧急不可压缩的莫特绝缘相的证据。

英文摘要:

The fermionic Hubbard model plays a fundamental role in the description of strongly correlated materials. Here we report on the realization of this Hamiltonian using a repulsively interacting spin mixture of ultracold $^{40}$K atoms in a 3D optical lattice. We have implemented a new method to directly measure the compressibility of the quantum gas in the trap using in-situ imaging and independent control of external confinement and lattice depth. Together with a comparison to ab-initio Dynamical Mean Field Theory calculations, we show how the system evolves for increasing confinement from a compressible dilute metal over a strongly-interacting Fermi liquid into a band insulating state. For strong interactions, we find evidence for an emergent incompressible Mott insulating phase.
