The Jaynes–Cummings Model (JCM) has recently been receiving increased attention as
one of the simplest, yet intricately nonlinear, models of quantum physics. Emphasising the …

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 …

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 …

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 …

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 …

We demonstrate that a Weyl point, widely examined in 3D Weyl semimetals and superfluids,
can develop a pair of nondegenerate gapless spheres. Such a bouquet of two spheres is …

A negative effective mass can be realized in quantum systems by engineering the
dispersion relation. A powerful method is provided by spin-orbit coupling, which is currently …

We describe the creation of a long-lived spin-orbit-coupled gas of quantum degenerate
atoms using the most magnetic fermionic element, dysprosium. Spin-orbit coupling arises …
