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 …

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 …

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 …

We generalize the Schrieffer-Wolff transformation to periodically driven systems using
Floquet theory. The method is applied to the periodically driven, strongly interacting Fermi …

Recent developments have led to an explosion of activity on skyrmions in three-dimensional
(3D) chiral magnets. Experiments have directly probed these topological spin textures …

Zitterbewegung, a force-free trembling motion first predicted for relativistic fermions like
electrons, was an unexpected consequence of the Dirac equation's unification of quantum …

Motivated by the experimental realization of synthetic spin-orbit coupling for ultracold atoms,
we investigate the phase diagram of the Bose-Hubbard model in a non-Abelian gauge field …

We investigate a spin-orbit-coupled Bose-Einstein condensate loaded into a translating
optical lattice. We experimentally demonstrate the lack of Galilean invariance in the spin …

The spin–orbit coupling with bosons gives rise to novel properties that are absent in usual
bosonic systems. Under very general conditions, the conventional ground state …
