Quantum simulation of Hofstadter butterfly with synthetic gauge fields on two-dimensional superconducting-qubit lattices

Motivated by recent realizations of two-dimensional (2D) superconducting-qubit lattices, we propose a protocol to simulate Hofstadter butterfly with synthetic gauge fields in superconducting circuits. Based on the existing 2D superconducting-qubit lattices, we construct a generalized Hofstadter mode...
