Schematics of four types of laser-assisted hopping in the ¹⁷¹Yb atom system. The energy difference between the NN sites (j and j ± 1), and that between F_z = 1/2 and F_z = −1/2 in the \({}^{1}S_{0}\) manifold at the same site are ±Δ_t and Δ_ab, respectively. The detunings for the excited states take the same value δ.
