Majorana fermions in quasi-1D and higher dimensional ultracold fermionic optical lattices
Chunlei Qu, Ming Gong, Yong Xu +2
We show that Majorana fermions (MFs) exist in two- and three-dimensional (2D,3D) fermionic optical lattices with strictly 1D spin-orbit coupling (SOC) which has already been realiz…
Topological Superfluids with Finite Momentum Pairing and Majorana Fermions
Chunlei Qu, Zhen Zheng, Ming Gong +5
Majorana fermions, quantum particles that are their own anti-particles, are not only of fundamental importance in elementary particle physics and dark matter, but also building blo…
Competing superfluid orders in spin-orbit coupled fermionic cold atom optical lattices
Yong Xu, Chunlei Qu, Ming Gong +1
The Fulde-Ferrell-Larkin-Ovchinnikov (FFLO) phase, a superconducting state with non-zero total momentum Cooper pairs in a large magnetic field, was first predicted about 50 years a…
FFLO or Majorana superfluids: The fate of fermionic cold atoms in spin-orbit coupled optical lattices
Chunlei Qu, Ming Gong, Chuanwei Zhang
The recent experimental realization of spin-orbit coupling (SOC) for ultra-cold atoms opens a completely new avenue for exploring new quantum matter. In experiments, the SOC is imp…
Observation of Zitterbewegung in a spin-orbit coupled Bose-Einstein condensate
Chunlei Qu, Chris Hamner, Ming Gong +2
Spin-orbit coupled ultra-cold atoms provide an intriguing new avenue for the study of rich spin dynamics in superfluids. In this Letter, we observe Zitterbewegung, the simultaneous…
