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 …

Gauge fields are central in our modern understanding of physics at all scales. At the highest
energy scales known, the microscopic universe is governed by particles interacting with …

The field of laser-matter interaction traditionally deals with the response of atoms, molecules,
and plasmas to an external light wave. However, the recent sustained technological …

Spin–orbit coupling (SOC) is central to many physical phenomena, including fine structures
of atomic spectra and topological phases in ultracold atoms. Whereas, in general, SOC is …

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 …

In this Letter, we report the first experimental realization and investigation of a spin-orbit
coupled Fermi gas. Both spin dephasing in spin dynamics and momentum distribution …

We consider a spin-orbit coupled configuration of spin-1/2 interacting bosons with equal
Rashba and Dresselhaus couplings. The phase diagram of the system at T= 0 is discussed …

A Majorana zero bound mode exists in the vortex core of a chiral p+ ip superconductor or
superfluid, which can be driven from an s-wave pairing state by two-dimensional spin-orbit …

In this review we will discuss the experimental and theoretical progresses in studying spin–
orbit coupled degenerate atomic gases during the last two years. We shall first review a …

We investigate the BCS-BEC crossover in three-dimensional degenerate Fermi gases in the
presence of spin-orbit coupling (SOC) and Zeeman field. We show that the superfluid order …
