Towards Raman coupling induced 2D spin-orbit coupling for 87Rb — •Sebastian Bode, Felix Kösel, Holger Ahlers, Naceur Gaaloul, and Ernst M. Rasel — IQ Universität Hannover
Presentation of the experimental steps towards synthesizing 2D Spin-orbit-coupling in a spinor Rubidium Bose-Einstein condensate.
Cyclically coupling the hyperfine Zeeman states via Raman transitions, will create an effective gauge field [1], resembling the ones in spintronic systems [2]. Such artificial interactions offer rich ground state dynamics and allow the realization of advanced solid state simulators with non-Abelian character in a versatile cold-atom system.
