Gauge fields are central in our modern understanding of physics at all scales. At the highest
energy scales known, the microscopic universe is governed by particles interacting with …

In this review we discuss the works in the area of quantum simulation and many-body
physics with light, from the early proposals on equilibrium models to the more recent works …

We propose a standard time-of-flight experiment as a method for observing the anyonic
statistics of quasiholes in a fractional quantum Hall state of ultracold atoms. The quasihole …

We show how spectroscopic experiments on a small Laughlin droplet of rotating bosons can
directly demonstrate Haldane fractional exclusion statistics of quasihole excitations. The …

The possibility of realizing bosonic fractional quantum Hall effect in ultracold atomic systems
suggests a new route to producing and manipulating anyons, by introducing auxiliary …

Strong synthetic magnetic fields have been successfully implemented in periodically driven
optical lattices. However, the interplay of the driving and interactions introduces detrimental …

We present and analyze a protocol in which polaritons in a noncoplanar optical cavity form
fractional quantum Hall states. We model the formation of these states and present …

Fractional quantum Hall systems are among the most exciting strongly correlated systems.
Accessing them microscopically via quantum simulations with ultracold atoms would be an …

I describe a lattice of asymmetrical qubit pairs in arbitrary dimension, with couplings
arranged so that the motion of single-qubit excited states mimics the behavior of charged …

Engineering strong p-wave interactions between fermions is one of the challenges in
modern quantum physics. Such interactions are responsible for a plethora of fascinating …
