We demonstrate the experimental implementation of an optical lattice that allows for the generation of large homogeneous and tunable artificial magnetic fields with ultracold atoms. Using laser-assisted tunneling in a tilted optical potential we engineer spatially dependent complex tunneling amplitudes. Thereby atoms hopping in the lattice accumulate a phase shift equivalent to the Aharonov-Bohm phase of charged particles in a magnetic field. We determine the local distribution of fluxes through the observation of cyclotron orbits of the atoms on lattice plaquettes, showing that the system is described by the Hofstadter model. Furthermore, we show that for two atomic spin states with opposite magnetic moments, our system naturally realizes the time-reversal symmetric Hamiltonian underlying the quantum spin Hall effect, i.e., two different spin components experience opposite directions of the magnetic field.

Large scale neural quantum states reveal the interplay between superconductivity and quantum criticality in the Hofstadter-Hubbard model
Neural quantum state simulations of the Hofstadter-Hubbard model show a continuous IQH to chiral spin liquid transition and a topological superconductor whose stiffness is enhanced near the quantum critical point.

Finite temperature precursors of Mottness in the Fermi Hubbard model
Numerical simulations show Mottness emerges first via two-particle charge response suppression in an anomalous metallic regime of the Hubbard model, prior to single-particle spectral gaps, with doping signatures follo...
