Simulating (2+1)-dimensional lattice QED with dynamical matter using ultracold atoms.
We suggest a method to simulate compact quantum electrodynamics using ultracold atoms in optical lattices, which includes dynamical Dirac fermions in 2+1 dimensions. This allows us to test the…
Emergence of artificial photons in an optical lattice.
TLDR
Theoretical feasibility of direct analog simulation of the compact U(1) lattice gauge theories in optical lattices with dipolar bosons is established and the testable signatures of this emergent phase in noise correlation measurements are predicted, suggesting the possible emergence of artificial light in Optical lattices.

Simulation of non-Abelian gauge theories with optical lattices.
TLDR
Here it is shown how to engineer quantum simulators of non-Abelian lattice gauge theories, which can be used to mimic quark confinement or to study dimer and valence-bond states (which may be relevant for high-temperature superconductors).
