Preparation of the Spin-Mott State: A Spinful Mott Insulator of Repulsively Bound Pairs

We observe and study a special ground state of bosons with two spin states in an optical lattice: the spin-Mott insulator, a state that consists of repulsively bound pairs that is insulating for both spin and charge transport. Because of the pairing gap created by the interaction anisotropy, it can...
