Unconventional Bose—Einstein condensations from spin-orbit coupling

CJ Wu, I Mondragon-Shem, XF Zhou - Chinese Physics Letters, 2011 - iopscience.iop.org
According to the" no-node" theorem, the many-body ground state wavefunctions of
conventional Bose—Einstein condensations (BEC) are positive-definite, thus time-reversal …
