By dynamically modifying the potential bias between neighboring lattice sites, the magnitude and sign of the superexchange interaction can be controlled, thus allowing the system to be switched between antiferromagnetic and ferromagnetic spin interactions.
Observation of dipolar spin-exchange interactions with lattice-confined polar molecules
This work constitutes an initial exploration of the behaviour of many-body spin models with direct, long-range spin interactions and lays the groundwork for future studies of many -body dynamics in spin lattices.

It is shown that a two-dimensional “crystal” of around 200 9Be+ ions held together by magnetic and electric fields in a so-called Penning trap can simulate quantum magnetism, which sets the stage for simulations with more complicated forms of interaction that classical computers would find intractable.
Spectroscopic observation of SU(N)-symmetric interactions in Sr orbital magnetism
This study lays the groundwork for using alkaline-earth atoms as testbeds for important orbital models by probing the non-equilibrium two-orbital SU(N) magnetism via Ramsey spectroscopy of atoms confined in an array of two-dimensional optical traps.

The tunability and the long-range nature of the interactions in the t-J-V-W model enable enhanced superfluidity and it is shown that Bloch oscillations in a tilted lattice can be used to probe the phase diagram experimentally.
Synthetic Spin-Orbit Coupling in an Optical Lattice Clock.

- 19 September 2015
It is demonstrated how standard protocols such as Rabi and Ramsey spectroscopy that take advantage of the sub-Hertz resolution of state-of-the-art clock lasers can perform momentum-resolved band tomography and determine SOC-induced s-wave collisions in nuclear-spin-polarized fermions.
