Synthetic gauge fields for lattices with multi-orbital unit cells: routes towards a π-flux dice lattice with flat bands
We propose a general strategy for generating synthetic magnetic fields in complex lattices with non-trivial connectivity based on light–matter coupling in cold atomic gases. Our approach starts from an underlying optical flux lattice in which a synthetic magnetic field is generated by coupling sever...
