• Abstract: We investigate a spin-degenerate Fermi gas coupled to a high-finesse optical cavity, where the competition between scalar and vectorial couplings is controlled by the relative polarization angle of the pump and cavity fields. We find that the phase transition threshold is synergistically determined by the scalar-vectorial coupling weight and Pauli blocking, with the latter dictating the critical pump lattice depth required for the onset of superradiance. For a two-component Fermi gas with opposite spins, the population ratio drives two distinct types of phase transitions corresponding to real-space phase separation: continuous and discontinuous. Nevertheless, the boundary of the phase transition remains fundamentally governed by the scalar-vectorial coupling competition. We clarify the impact of the relative polarization angle on phase transitions of the system; these results also apply to bosonic systems. Our results provide valuable theoretical insights for future experimental realizations.

  We experimentally observe the emergence of the quantum floating phase in 92 neutral-atom qubits. The site-resolved measurement reveals the formation of domain walls within the commensurate ordered phase. As the experimental system sizes increase, we show that the wave vectors approach a continuum of values incommensurate with the lattice.

  We propose an interferometric method to probe pair correlations in a gas of spin-1/2 fermions. The method consists of a Ramsey sequence where both spin states of the Fermi gas are set in a superposition of a state at rest and a state with a large recoil velocity. The off-diagonal long-range order is directly reflected in the behavior of the interferometric signal for long interrogation times.

  We investigate the phase diagram of hard-core bosons in a triangular ladder with next-to-nearest-neighbor interaction along each leg. For weak interactions, Abelian bosonization predicts a spin density wave and a fully gapless Luttinger liquid phase. The competition with the zigzag interaction generates a charge density wave, a 'polarized holonic' phase, and a crystalline phase at the filling 2/5.
