Abstract
We present a simple, experimentally realizable method to make coherent three-body interactions dominate the physics of an ultracold lattice gas. Our scheme employs either lattice modulation or laser-induced tunneling to reduce or turn off two-body interactions in a rotating frame, promoting three-body interactions arising from multi-orbital physics to leading-order processes. This approach provides a route to strongly-correlated phases of lattice gases that are beyond the reach of previously proposed dissipative three-body interactions. In particular, we study the mean-field phase diagram for spinless bosons with three- and two- body interactions, and provide a roadmap to dimer states of varying character in 1D. This new toolset should be immediately applicable in state-of-the-art cold atom experiments.
