Abstract: The observation of quantum Hall states in Bose-Einstein condensates is close to experimental realization with the recent developments of introducing synthetic magnetic field in optical lattices. In this work we examine the quantum Hall states in parameter domains close to the Mott lobes and between the Mott lobes.
Earlier works have focused on the quantum Hall states in optical lattices and close to the Mott lobes. However, experiments with optical lattices are performed with a background confining potential. So, it is essential to incorporate it in the theoretical descriptions of the experimental results, or to study the expected signatures of quantum Hall states in optical lattices.
In our studies we have considered a harmonic confining potential, and our results show what are the expected signatures of quantum Hall states in these systems.
