Sažetak
Synthetic magnetism plays an important role in the development of controllable quantum emulators. The first implementation of synthetic magnetism used the analogy between the Lorentz force and the Coriolis force [1]. Methods based on laser-atom interaction employ the analogy between the Berry phase in atomic systems, and the Aharonov-Bohm phase for charged particles [2]. We experimentally demonstrate a synthetic Lorentz force for cold atomic gases, based on the radiation pressure and the Doppler effect, as proposed in Ref. [3]. We measure the dependence of the transverse radiation pressure force on the velocity of a cold atomic cloud, by observing the motion of its center of mass, Fig. 1. The transverse synthetic Lorentz force is perpendicular to the velocity, and it is zero for a cloud at rest.
