Engineering exotic superfluids with spin-orbit coupled Bose-Einstein condensates
- Abstract: Spin-orbit coupled Bose-Einstein condensates, where the internal state of the atoms is linked to their momentum through optical coupling, are a flexible experimental platform to engineer synthetic quantum many-body systems. In my talk, I will present recent work where we have exploited the interplay of spin-orbit coupling and tunable interactions in potassium BECs to realize two unconventional superfluid phases.
