Overview  [effect  of  magnetic  field]:  • The  introduction  of  magnetic  field  has  a  dramatic  effect  on  all  properties  of  the  system.• Even  in  the  absence  of  interaction,  the  energy  spectrum  of  a  free  fermi-­‐gas  gets  modified1.• The  most  significant  consequence  of  this  phenomena  is  the  quantum  Hall  effect2in  2D.

Objective:In  past,  using  analytical  calculations  (bosonization),  “magnetic  flux”  vs    “𝑈(FGHIJ/𝑉KK”  phase  diagram  have  been  created.[Sam  T.  Carr et  al.,  Phys.  Rev.  B 73,  195114  (2006)]

We  aim  towards  creating  the  phase  diagram  in  intermediate  and  strong  coupling  limit  using  an  exact  Density  matrix  renormalization  group  technique,  where  the  analytical  techniques  does  not  work.

There  have  many  few  DMRG  studies  on  similar  models,  but  a  comprehensive  study  is  still  missing.[Simone  Barbarino et  al.,  Nature  communications  6,  8134  (2015)]

Summary• We  are  able  to  capture  similar  phases  using  DMRG  in  weak  coupling  limit  as  in  analytical  calculations.  • We  are  interested  in  performing  a  similar  study  in  intermediate  and  strong  coupling  regime.• Our  results  will  provide  as  a  reference  to  understand  these  systems  in  Cold  atoms,  where  they  can  control  the  parameters  of  the  Hamiltonian  using  newly  emerged  techniques.
