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 …

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 …

Recently, several authors have investigated topological phenomena in periodically driven
systems of noninteracting particles. These phenomena are identified through analogies …

Spin–orbit coupling links a particle's velocity to its quantum-mechanical spin, and is
essential in numerous condensed matter phenomena, including topological insulators and …

One of the best signatures of nonclassicality in a quantum system is the existence of
correlations that have no classical counterpart. Different methods for quantifying the …

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 …

An overview of the physics of spinor and dipolar Bose–Einstein condensates (BECs) is
given. Mean-field ground states, Bogoliubov spectra, and many-body ground and excited …

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 …
