Gauge fields are central in our modern understanding of physics. They are at the origin of many sophisticated states of matter including quantum Hall materials, topological insulators and supersolids that have potential applications in future technologies. This project aims to explore these exotic quantum states emerging in ultracold atomic gases with artificially engineered gauge fields. Unlike the solid-state systems, in which all details of the material structure are not controlled or even not known with certainty, the unprecedented controllability of the ultracold system provides a unique opportunity to gain key insights on the physics related to the gauge fields, and to advance the studies in both fundamental physics and applications.

规范场是我们现代物理学理解的核心。它们是许多复杂物质状态的起源，包括量子霍尔材料、拓扑绝缘体和在未来技术中有潜在应用的超固体。本项目旨在通过人工设计的规范场探索这些在超冷原子气体中出现的奇异量子态。与固态系统不同，在固态系统中，材料结构的所有细节都不受控制，甚至不确定，超冷系统的前所未有的可控性提供了一个独特的机会，可以获得与规范场相关的物理的关键见解，并推进基础物理和应用的研究。
