• Title: Spectroscopy of edge and bulk collective modes in fractional Chern insulators
• Abstract summary: We introduce a spectroscopic scheme based on two interfering Laguerre-Gaussian beams, which transfer a controlled angular momentum and energy to the system. The edge and bulk responses to the probe are detected through local density measurements. We numerically benchmark our method by considering few bosons in the $nu=1/2$ Laughlin ground state of the Hofstadter-Bose-Hubbard model.

• Abstract: The exploration of atomic fractional quantum Hall (FQH) states is now within reach in optical-lattice experiments. While ground-state signatures have been observed in a system realizing the Hofstadter-Bose-Hubbard model in a box [Leonard et al., Nature 2023], how to access hallmark low-energy collective modes remains a central open question in this context. We introduce a spectroscopic scheme based on two interfering Laguerre-Gaussian beams, which transfer a controlled angular momentum and energy to the system. The edge and bulk responses to the probe are detected through local density measurements, by tracking the transfer of atoms between the bulk and the edge of the FQH droplet. This detection scheme is shown to simultaneously reveal two specific signatures of FQH states: their chiral edge branch and their bulk magneto-roton mode. We numerically benchmark our method by considering few bosons in the $\nu=1/2$ Laughlin ground state of the Hofstadter-Bose-Hubbard model, and demonstrate that these signatures are already detectable in realistic systems of two bosons, provided that the box potential is larger than the droplet. Our work paves the way for the detection of fractional statistics in cold atoms through edge signatures.

  We investigate the impact of introducing a local cavity within the center of a topological chain. This cavity induces a scissor-like effect that bisects the chain, liberating Majorana zero modes (MZMs) within the bulk. By leveraging the symmetry properties of fermion modes within a two-site cavity, we propose a novel method for generating MZM-polariton Schr"odinger cat states.

We identify experimentally accessible parameters where all signatures indicate the appearance of a fractional state with the same topological properties as the $nu=1/2$ bosonic Laughlin state.
