Unconventional Bose—Einstein Condensations from Spin-Orbit Coupling

Congjun Wu, Ian Mondragon-Shem, Xiang-Fa Zhou

According to the “no-node" theorem, the many-body ground state wavefunctions of conventional Bose—Einstein condensations (BEC) are positive-definite, thus time-reversal symmetry cannot be spontaneously broken. We find that multi-component bosons with spin-orbit coupling provide an unconventional type of BECs beyond this paradigm. We focus on a subtle case of isotropic Rashba spin-orbit coupling and the spin-independent interaction. In the limit of the weak confining potential, the condensate wavefunctions are frustrated at the Hartree—Fock level due to the degeneracy of the Rashba ring. Quantum zero-point energy selects the spin-spiral type condensate through the “order-from-disorder" mechanism. In a strong harmonic confining trap, the condensate spontaneously generates a half-quantum vortex combined with the skyrmion type of spin texture. In both cases, time-reversal symmetry is spontaneously broken. These phenomena can be realized in both cold atom systems with artificial spin-orbit couplings generated from atom-laser interactions and exciton condensates in semi-conductor systems.

Dynamics of rotating spin–orbit-coupled Bose–Einstein condensates in a quasicrystalline optical lattice

Qingbo Wang, Jinguo Hu, Xianghua Su +1 more

We investigate the dynamics of rotating pseudo-spin-1/2 Bose–Einstein condensates (BECs) with Rashba spin–orbit coupling (SOC) in a quasicrystalline optical lattice (QOL). For given parameters, the system evolves from an initial heliciform-stripe phase into a final visible vortex necklace with a giant vortex and a hidden vortex necklace. Simultaneously, the corresponding spin texture undergoes a transition from a meron–antimeron pair to a half-antiskyrmion necklace. During the dynamic evolution process, the angular momentum increases gradually, and then approaches to a convergent value. Furthermore, typical quantum phases of rotating two-component BECs with SOC in different external potentials are summarized.
