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 …

Ultracold quantum gases offer a unique setting for quantum simulation of interacting many-
body systems. The high degree of controllability, the novel detection possibilities and the …

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 …

We describe a simple technique for generating a cold-atom lattice pierced by a uniform
magnetic field. Our method is to extend a one-dimensional optical lattice into the …

When a neutral atom moves in a properly designed laser field, its center-of-mass motion
may mimic the dynamics of a charged particle in a magnetic field, with the emergence of a …

This paper reviews recent experimental and theoretical progress concerning many-body
phenomena in dilute, ultracold gases. It focuses on effects beyond standard weak-coupling …

Neutral atomic Bose condensates and degenerate Fermi gases have been used to realize
important many-body phenomena in their most simple and essential forms,,, without many of …

We review recent developments in the physics of ultracold atomic and molecular gases in
optical lattices. Such systems are nearly perfect realisations of various kinds of Hubbard …

An effective spin-orbit coupling can be generated in a cold atom system by engineering
atom-light interactions. In this Letter we study spin-1/2 and spin-1 Bose-Einstein …
