Description

Dipolar molecular platforms provide a possibility of realizing analog quantum simulators for quantum field theories such as quantum link models, a discrete version of lattice field theories in terms of the degrees of freedom for each link variable. We apply the method of effective Hamiltonians to a system of dipolar molecules with electric dipole-dipole interactions with tunable parameters to obtain the $U(1)$ quantum link models in $1+1$ dimensions.
