Abstract
En 中文
Synthetic gauge fields have provided physicists with a unique tool to explore a wide range of fundamentally important phenomena. However, most experiments have focused on synthetic vector gauge fields. The very rich physics brought about by coupling tensor gauge fields to fracton phases of matter remains unexplored in laboratories. Here, we propose schemes to realize synthetic tensor gauge fields that address dipoles instead of single particles. A lattice tilted by a strong linear potential and a weak quadratic potential yields a rank-2 electric field for a dipole formed by a particle-hole pair. Such a rank-2 electric field leads to a new type of Bloch oscillations, which modulates the quadrupole moment and preserves the dipole moment of the system. In higher dimensions, the interplay between interactions and vector gauge potentials imprints a phase to the ring-exchange interaction and thus generates synthetic tensor gauge fields. Such tensor gauge fields make it possible to realize a dipolar Harper-Hofstadter model in laboratories. The resultant dipolar Chern insulators feature chiral edge currents of dipoles in the absence of net charge currents.
