Tunable Single-Ion Anisotropy in Spin-1 Models Realized with Ultracold Atoms

Mott insulator plateaus in optical lattices are a versatile platform to study spin physics. Using sites occupied by two bosons with an internal degree of freedom, we realize a uniaxial single-ion anisotropy term proportional to (S^{z})^{2} that plays an important role in stabilizing magnetism for lo...
