DESCRIPTION:Prof. Tilman Esslinger\, Head of Dep. of Physics\, ETHZ\nUltra
 cold gases open new avenues to realize and explore key models of quantum p
 hysics. Using a set of interfering laser beams we created a honeycomb pote
 ntial for a fermionic quantum gas. Going further beyond what is presently 
 possible in solid-state experiments\, we realized the topological Haldane 
 model in this artificial graphene. It features topologically distinct phas
 es of matter and provides a mechanism through which a quantum Hall effect 
 can appear as an intrinsic property of a band-structure\, rather than bein
 g caused by an external magnetic field.
