报告简介:In this talk I will review recent progresses in studying spin-orbit coupling in ultracold quantum gases. I will discuss several examples of new states or phenomena when spin-orbit coupling is introduced to ultracold atomic gases. i) the single particle ground state degeneracy will lead to condensate with stripe order for bosons and interesting finite temperature phase diagram; ii) the new feature in two-body physics strongly modifies the scenario of fermion superfluid; and if time permits iii) flat band emerges which leads to interesting many-body physics and iv) spin Hall effect has been observed.
