Geometrical frustration, power law tunneling and non-local gauge fields from scattered light (Q6717018)

This is a repository with the dataset used for generating the figures of our work (submitted to PRL) https://doi.org/10.48550/arXiv.2502.04330 The dataset is generated by a simulation protocol implemented in Python. Each dataset contains the hopping elements and the chemical potential in the effective Hamiltonian as a matrix. The chemical potential terms correspond to the diagonal part of the matrix, whereas the hopping terms are the off-diagonal matrix elements. We furthermore provide the Python script we used for creating the plots. This script allows for plotting the real and the imaginary part of the matrix elements as well as their complex phase (which represents the acquired Peierls phase due to the classical gauge fields). It also generates a representation of the complex phase of the Laguerre-Gaussian modes in a plane perpendicular to the propagation direction of light.
