Degenerate quantum gases with spin–orbit coupling: a review

H Zhai - Reports on Progress in Physics, 2015 - iopscience.iop.org
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 …

Probing ferromagnetic order in few-fermion correlated spin-flip dynamics

GM Koutentakis, SI Mistakidis… - New Journal of …, 2019 - iopscience.iop.org
We unravel the dynamical stability of a fully polarized one-dimensional ultracold few-fermion
spin-1/2 gas subjected to inhomogeneous driving of the itinerant spins. Despite the unstable …

Dynamical generation of dark solitons in spin-orbit-coupled Bose–Einstein condensates

S Cao, CJ Shan, DW Zhang, X Qin, J Xu - JOSA B, 2015 - opg.optica.org

nonlinear excitations of a realized spin-orbit-coupled Bose–Einstein condensate in a 1D …

Demagnetization dynamics of noninteracting trapped fermions

AP Koller, J Mundinger, ML Wall, AM Rey - Physical Review A, 2015 - APS
Motivated by several experimental efforts to understand spin diffusion and transport in
ultracold fermionic gases, we study the spin dynamics of initially spin-polarized ensembles …

von Neumann spin measurements with Rashba fields

EY Sherman, D Sokolovski - New Journal of Physics, 2014 - iopscience.iop.org
We show that dynamics in the spin–orbit coupling field simulate the von Neumann
measurement of a particle spin. We demonstrate how the measurement influences the spin …

Spin measurements and control of cold atoms using spin-orbit fields

D Sokolovski, EY Sherman - Physical Review A, 2014 - APS
We show that by switching on a spin-orbit interaction in a cold-atom system, experiencing a
Zeeman-like coupling to an external field, eg, in a Bose-Einstein condensate, one can …
