This is an introductory review of the physics of topological quantum matter with cold atoms.
Topological quantum phases, originally discovered and investigated in condensed matter …

Monopoles and vortices are fundamental topological excitations that appear in physical
systems spanning enormous scales of size and energy, from the vastness of the early …

As topologically stable objects in field theories, knots have been put forward to explain
various persistent phenomena in systems ranging from atoms and molecules to cosmic …

Monopoles play a center role in gauge theories and topological matter. There are two
fundamental types of monopoles in physics: vector monopoles and tensor monopoles …

We study the spin vortices and skyrmions coherently imprinted into an exciton–polariton
condensate on a planar semiconductor microcavity. We demonstrate that the presence of a …

We demonstrate coupling between the atomic spin-and orbital-angular momentum (OAM) of
the atom's center-of-mass motion in a Bose-Einstein condensate (BEC). The coupling is …

Classical electromagnetism and quantum mechanics are both central to the modern
understanding of the physical world and its ongoing technological development. Quantum …

In this paper. we study the existence, stability, and dynamics of select topological points and
line defects in antiferromagnetic, polar phase, F= 1 Na 23 spinor condensates. Specifically …

Electron waves give an unprecedented enhancement to the field of microscopy by providing
higher resolving power compared to their optical counterpart. Further information about a …

Topological defects (TDs) appear in all branches of physics due to the simplicity of generic
mechanisms: The necessary condition for their existence is spontaneous symmetry breaking …
