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 …

Quantum computers, though not yet available on the market, will revolutionize the future of
information processing. Quantum computers for special purposes like quantum simulators …

In this review we discuss the works in the area of quantum simulation and many-body
physics with light, from the early proposals on equilibrium models to the more recent works …

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 …

Spin-orbit coupling (SOC), the interaction between the spin and momentum of a quantum
particle, is crucial for many important condensed matter phenomena. The recent …

We study trapped 2D atomic Bose-Einstein condensates with spin-independent interactions
in the presence of an isotropic spin-orbit coupling, showing that a rich physics results from …

Over recent years, exciting developments in the field of ultracold atoms confined in optical
lattices have led to numerous theoretical proposals devoted to the quantum simulation of …

We study bright solitons in a Bose-Einstein condensate with a spin-orbit coupling that has
been realized experimentally. Both stationary bright solitons and moving bright solitons are …

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 …
