Abstract

There have been significant recent advances in realizing band structures with geometrical and topological features in experiments on cold atomic gases. This review summarizes these developments, beginning with a summary of the key concepts of geometry and topology for Bloch bands. Descriptions are given of the different methods that have been used to generate these novel band structures for cold atoms and of the physical observables that have allowed their characterization. The focus is on the physical principles that underlie the different experimental approaches, providing a conceptual framework within which to view these developments. Also described is how specific experimental implementations can influence physical properties. Moving beyond single-particle effects, descriptions are given of the forms of interparticle interactions that emerge when atoms are subjected to these energy bands and of some of the many-body phases that may be sought in future experiments.

Each is checked against this paper’s own text: does it say what the citing paper says it does?

  • Atomic gases enjoy extraordinary cleanness and control at the microscopic level, permitting quantitative comparison with ab initio theoretical calculations.

    “atomic gases enjoy an extraordinary level of cleanness and control at the microscopic level, which permits a quantitative comparison with ab initio theoretical calculations.”

    From How to exploit driving and dissipation to stabilize and manipulate quantum many-body states (2025) · cites this paper as [4]

    The Introduction describes cold atomic gases as controlled experimental settings, and the Outlook says disorder can be negligible in their optical lattices. These passages support the claim about control and cleanness, but our copy does not establish the further claim that this permits quantitative comparison with ab initio calculations.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
