Superfluid-Insulator transition of two-species bosons with spin-orbit coupling

Saptarshi Mandal, Kush Saha, K. Sengupta

Motivated by recent experiments [Y.J. Lin {\it et al.}, Nature {\bf 471}, 83 (2011)], we study Mott phases and superfluid-insulator (SI) transitions of two-species ultracold bosoni…
