拓扑莫特绝缘体的维度交叉与冷原子实现

Dimensional crossover and cold-atom realization of topological Mott insulators

Mathias S. Scheurer, Stephan Rachel, Peter P. Orth

摘要:

我们提出了一个冷原子的设置,它允许从二维量子自旋霍尔绝缘相的三维强拓扑绝缘体通过调整层之间的跳跃跨越。我们进一步表明,额外的哈伯德现场相互作用可以引起自旋液体相:弱和强拓扑莫特绝缘体。它们代表了物质量子态的著名范例,这种量子态的存在仅仅是因为能带结构的非平凡拓扑结构和强相互作用的相互作用。虽然这一阶段的理论理解仍然难以捉摸,我们的建议将有助于阐明这种奇异的物质状态铺平了道路,在光晶格的控制实验研究。

英文摘要:

We propose a cold-atom setup which allows for a dimensional crossover from a two-dimensional quantum spin Hall insulating phase to a three-dimensional strong topological insulator by tuning the hopping between the layers. We further show that additional Hubbard onsite interactions can give rise to spin liquid-like phases: weak and strong topological Mott insulators. They represent the celebrated paradigm of a quantum state of matter which merely exists because of the interplay of the non-trivial topology of the band structure and strong interactions. While the theoretical understanding of this phase has remained elusive, our proposal shall help to shed some light on this exotic state of matter by paving the way for a controlled experimental investigation in optical lattices.
