Spin-orbit coupled bosons in one dimension: emergent gauge field and Lifshitz transition
William S. Cole, Junhyun Lee, Khan W. Mahmud +3
In the presence of strong spin-independent interactions and spin-orbit coupling, we show that the spinor Bose liquid confined to one spatial dimension undergoes an interaction- or…
Strong coupling phases of the spin-orbit-coupled spin-1 Bose-Hubbard chain: odd integer Mott lobes and helical magnetic phases
J. H. Pixley, William S. Cole, I. B. Spielman +2
We study the odd integer filled Mott phases of a spin-1 Bose-Hubbard chain and determine their fate in the presence of a Raman induced spin-orbit coupling which has been achieved i…
Striped Ferronematic ground states in a spin-orbit coupled Bose gas
Stefan S. Natu, Xiaopeng Li, William S. Cole
We theoretically establish the mean-field phase diagram of a homogeneous spin-, spin-orbit coupled Bose gas as a function of the spin-dependent interaction parameter, the Raman…
Spin-orbit Coupling in Optical lattices
Shizhong Zhang, William S. Cole, Arun Paramekanti +1
In this review, we discuss the physics of spin-orbit coupled quantum gases in optical lattices. After reviewing some relevant experimental techniques, we introduce the basic theore…
Bose Hubbard Models with Synthetic Spin-Orbit Coupling: Mott Insulators, Spin Textures and Superfluidity
William S. Cole, Shizhong Zhang, Arun Paramekanti +1
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 fi…
