## TL;DR

This paper presents a method to create a synthetic random flux model in a 2D optical lattice using periodic modulation, exploring its transport properties and effects on Anderson localization.

## Contribution

It introduces a novel approach to generate random gauge fields in optical lattices via fast periodic modulation of system parameters.

## Key findings

- Demonstrates how time-reversal symmetry breaking affects localization.
- Shows correlations in disorder influence Anderson localization length.
- Provides a framework for studying disordered gauge fields in cold atom systems.

## Abstract

We propose a realization of a synthetic Random Flux Model in a two-dimensional optical lattice. Starting from Bose-Hubbard Hamiltonian for two atom species we show how to use fast-periodic modulation of the system parameters to construct random gauge field. We investigate the transport properties of such a system and describe the impact of time-reversal symmetry breaking and correlations in disorder on Anderson localization length.
