Symmetry breaking in 2D layered materials plays a significant role in their macroscopic
electrical, optical, magnetic and topological properties, including, but not limited to, spin …

This review focuses on recent developments in synthetic spin–orbit (SO) coupling in
ultracold atomic gases. Two types of SO coupling are discussed. One is Raman process …

Supersolidity combines superfluid flow with long-range spatial periodicity of solids, two
properties that are often mutually exclusive. The original discussion of quantum crystals and …

Cold atoms with laser-induced spin-orbit (SO) interactions provide a platform to explore
quantum physics beyond natural conditions of solids. Here we propose and experimentally …

Abstract In 1984, Bychkov and Rashba introduced a simple form of spin–orbit coupling to
explain the peculiarities of electron spin resonance in two-dimensional semiconductors …

Artificial gauge fields are currently realized in a wide range of physical settings. This
includes solid-state devices but also engineered systems, such as photonic crystals …

We consider the nonequilibrium dynamics of a driven dissipative spin chain with chiral
coupling to a one-dimensional (1D) bosonic bath, and its atomic implementation with a two …

We describe the creation of a long-lived spin-orbit-coupled gas of quantum degenerate
atoms using the most magnetic fermionic element, dysprosium. Spin-orbit coupling arises …

Phases of matter are characterized by order parameters describing the type and degree of
order in a system. Here we experimentally explore the magnetic phases present in a near …

Abstract Spin-orbit-coupled Bose–Einstein condensates (BECs) provide a powerful tool to
investigate interesting gauge field-related phenomena. Here we study the ground state …
