报告摘要：

      Orbital degrees of freedom are essential in modeling complex quantum materials. For symmetry reasons, high orbitals in optical lattices provide an ideal platform for quantum simulations of electronic orbitals in molecules and solids---they obey the same point group symmetries. This talk will present recent progress on quantum simulations with high orbital optical lattices, including both theory and experimental accomplishments. On the theory side, I will discuss how spontaneous spin angular-momentum interaction emerges for spinor bosons/fermions having orbital degrees freedom and how this mechanism relates to the mysterious chiral induced spin selectivity discovered in a broad range of chiral molecules but lacking theoretical explanation for decades. On the experimental side, I will present a recently achieved hexagonal sp-2 orbital hybridized optical lattice, which supports a novel quantum phase transition from a chiral to Potts-nematic superfluid.
