Spin-Orbit Coupling and Spin Textures in Optical Superlattices

Spin-Orbit Coupling and Spin Textures in Optical Superlattices

We propose and demonstrate a new approach for realizing spin-orbit coupling with ultracold atoms. We use orbital levels in a double-well potential as pseudospin states. Two-photon Raman transitions between left and right wells induce spin-orbit coupling. This scheme does not require near resonant li...
