Abstract

Cold atoms do geometry: Electrons in solids populate energy bands, which can be simulated in cold atom systems using optical lattices. The geometry of the corresponding wave functions determines the topological properties of the system, but getting a direct look is tricky. Fläschner et al. and Li et al. measured the detailed structure of the band wave functions in hexagonal optical lattices, one resembling a boron-nitride and the other a graphene lattice. These techniques will make it possible to explore more complex situations that include the effects of interactions. Science , this issue pp. 1091 and 1094

Claims other papers make about this one

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

  • The experimental reconstruction captures the main features of Berry curvature, including overall symmetry and sign, quantitative magnitude over much of the band, and the complementarity Ω1 = -Ω2.

    “as can be seen, the main features of the Berry curvature are well captured, such as the overall symmetry and sign, the quantitative magnitude over much of the band and the predicted complementarity of the two bands 1,26 (that is, Ω ϕ,Q 1 = -Ω ϕ,Q 2 ).”
  • The method measures Berry curvature directly from wavepacket dynamics without requiring full reconstruction of band eigenstates.

    “with the significant advantage that it does not require a full reconstruction of the band eigenstates as an intermediate step.”

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.
