Abstract
A collaboration between researchers from the UAB Department of Physics and the ICFO has resulted in a significant advance towards the quantum simulation of the Chern-Simons gauge theory, which explains the fractional Hall effect, one of the most intriguing phenomena of condensed matter. For the first time ever, researchers performed in an experiment its reduction to a single spatial dimension, the chiral BF topological gauge theory, using potassium-39 atoms cooled a few billionths of a degree above absolute zero.
