Description

Alkaline-earth and ytterbium cold atomic gases make it possible to simulate SU(N)-symmetric fermionic systems in a very controlled fashion. Such a high symmetry is expected to give rise to a variety of novel phenomena in many-body quantum physics. We describe the main exotic properties of alkaline-earth and ytterbium fermions loading into a one-dimensional optical lattice. In particular, a special emphasis will be laid on the nature of one-dimensional symmetry-protected topological phases with an SU(N) symmetry that one can stabilize with these fermions.
