Quantized Hall Conductance of a Single Atomic Wire: A Proposal Based on Synthetic Dimensions

We propose a method by which the quantization of the Hall conductance can be directly measured in the transport of a one-dimensional atomic gas. Our approach builds on two main ingredients: (1) a constriction optical potential, which generates a mesoscopic channel connected to two reservoirs, and (2...
