Abstract:The exploration of atomic fractional quantum Hall (FQH) states is now within reach in optical-lattice experiments. While ground-state signatures have been observed in a system realizing the Hofstadter-Bose-Hubbard model in a box [Léonard , ], how to access hallmark low-energy collective modes remains a central open question in this context. We introduce a spectroscopic scheme based on two interfering Laguerre-Gaussian beams, which transfer a controlled angular momentum and energy to the system. The edge and b… Show more
