  Engineering strong p-wave interactions between fermions is one of the
challenges in modern quantum physics. Such interactions are responsible for a
plethora of fascinating quantum phenomena such as topological quantum liquids
and exotic superconductors. In this letter we propose to combine recent
developments of nanoplasmonics with the progress in realizing laser-induced
gauge fields. Nanoplasmonics allows for strong confinement leading to a
geometric resonance in the atom-atom scattering. In combination with the
laser-coupling of the atomic states, this is shown to result in the desired
interaction. We illustrate how this scheme can be used for the stabilization of
strongly correlated fractional quantum Hall states in ultracold fermionic
gases.
