Quasi-angular momentum of Bose and Fermi gases in rotating optical lattices

Abstract: Abstract. The notion of quasi-angular momentum is introduced to label the eigenstates of a Hamiltonian with a discrete rotational symmetry. This concept is recast in an operatorial form where the creation and annihilation operators of a Hubbard Hamiltonian carry units of quasi-angular momentum. Using this formalism, the ground states of ultracold gases of non-interacting fermions in rotating optical lattices are studied as a function of rotation, and transitions between states of different quasi-angular moment… Show more

“…In addition to the conventional Mulliken labels, orbitals symmetries have been indicated by the halves of the azimuthal node counts (HANCs) along the three concentric annulenic loops (bold characters/empty‐signs ∅ indicate annulenic loops with high/negligible electron density). Those HANCs would be proper quantum numbers, the so‐called quasi‐angular momenta m , in the limiting case of C n ‐symmetrical decoupled [ n ]annulenes. However, they can be useful in anticipating on inspection patterns of current density.…”

“…However, there is still a unique correspondence between the position of the peaks in the absorption image and the initial quasi-momentum distribution (see also Ref. [19]). Consequently, the latter provides a means to experimentally determine the quasi-momentum of the wavefunction before the release.…”

“…On the other hand, the quasiangular momentum of the ground state, which is the generator of the discrete rotation, change by integer value for symmetry-incommensurate filling with increasing rotational frequency. It is associated with changes in the phase winding Θ cf which jumps by 2π each time the quasi angular momentum of the ground state changes [19,30,32]. The change in the phase winding of the ground state denote quantum phase transitions and is associated with vortex entering the system.…”
