Self-generated quantum gauge fields in arrays of Rydberg atoms
As shown in recent experiments (Lienhard et al 2020 Phys. Rev. X 10 021031), spin–orbit coupling in systems of Rydberg atoms can give rise to density-dependent Peierls phases in second-order hoppings of Rydberg spin excitations and nearest-neighbor repulsion. We here study theoretically a one-dimens...
