Gauge fields are central in our modern understanding of physics at all scales. At the highest
energy scales known, the microscopic universe is governed by particles interacting with …

This review focuses on recent developments in synthetic spin–orbit (SO) coupling in
ultracold atomic gases. Two types of SO coupling are discussed. One is Raman process …

Vector vortex beams are conventionally created as the superposition of orbital angular
momentum (OAM) modes with orthogonal polarizations, limiting the available degrees of …

It is commonly known that two-dimensional mean-field models of optical and matter waves
with cubic self-attraction cannot produce stable solitons in free space because of the …

We study bright solitons in a Bose-Einstein condensate with a spin-orbit coupling that has
been realized experimentally. Both stationary bright solitons and moving bright solitons are …

The three types of oscillatory nondegenerate solitons including asymmetric double-hump
soliton, symmetric double-hump soliton and double-hump-single-hump soliton in the spin …

The spin–orbit coupling with bosons gives rise to novel properties that are absent in usual
bosonic systems. Under very general conditions, the conventional ground state …

The experimental and theoretical research of spin–orbit-coupled ultracold atomic gases has
advanced and expanded rapidly in recent years. Here, we review some of the progress that …

We theoretically investigate the condensate state and collective excitations of a two-
component Bose gas in a two-dimensional harmonic trap subject to isotropic Rashba spin …

We present an analysis of two-dimensional (2D) matter-wave solitons, governed by the
pseudospinor system of Gross-Pitaevskii equations with self-and cross attraction, which …
