MY LATEST RESEARCH
Spin-Orbit Coupling of ultracold atoms without laser light
​
"Spin-orbit coupling effect can be systematically studied using ultracold atoms, by combining oscillatory magnetic forces with radio-frequency pulses. Elimination of laser beams greatly simplifies the settings, which makes the scheme accessible to more atomic species."

Investigating Spin-Orbit Coupling with ultracold atoms in optical superlattice
​
"Spin-orbit coupling, which is the underlying mechanism behind topological insulators and quantum spin Hall effect, has been simulated with high precision using periodic array of atoms in a standing wave of light."
