A pioneering work on realizingSpin-Orbit Coupling in Ultracold Fermi Gas

![Page 5: PHYS 596 - JOURNAL CLUB PRESENTATION](https://reader031.fdocuments.in/reader031/viewer/2022021306/6207468749d709492c2fc6a4/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
Why is this study interesting?• Spin-Orbit Coupling (SOC) is responsible for a variety of
phenomena: fine structure of atomic spectra, topological edge states, and topological superconductivity.
• Once SOC is included in the cold-atom toolbox, by using the optical lattices, it is possible to design and measure exotic states, such as topological edge states, which are difficult to create and analyze experimentally in condensed matter physics.

Why is this study pioneering?• This experiment is one of the two first realizations of spin-
orbit coupling in an ultracold Fermi gas.
• Spin splitting of the atoms is experimentally verified.
• The spin-orbit coupled band structure is mapped out.

I. Preparing atoms with spin orbit coupling
• Fermionic 6Li atoms are cooled down and put into an optical dipole trap.

I. Preparing atoms with spin orbit coupling
• The atoms are transferred into the lowest four hyperfine states (F=3/2) via radiofrequency sweeps.

I. Preparing atoms with spin orbit coupling
• Spin orbit coupling is created with two Raman lasers.
11

I. Preparing atoms with spin orbit coupling
• A theoretical explanation of this process is following.

II. Define atoms’ spin “Up” and “Down”• With the Zeeman field, the
degeneracy of the F=3/2 state is removed.
• The two states in the middle are used as spin “up” and spin “down” states.

III. Introducing Two-Photon Raman Process
• One atom is on the spin “up” state (blue).
• A spin “down” state (red) is ħω0 lower in energy.

III. Introducing Two-Photon Raman Process
• Two Raman beams are turned on.
15
![Page 16: PHYS 596 - JOURNAL CLUB PRESENTATION](https://reader031.fdocuments.in/reader031/viewer/2022021306/6207468749d709492c2fc6a4/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
III. Introducing Two-Photon Raman Process
• The transition from spin “up” to spin “down” state is accomplished by absorbing a photon from one laser and emitting a photon to the other laser.
• The momentum of the atom changes at the same time because of the photons.
16

III. Introducing Two-Photon Raman Process
• The dashed line means a virtual state.
• It is not a real state because the atom does not stay there for any time.

III. Introducing Two-Photon Raman Process
• The π beam can be tuned away from the the right frequency. ħδ is called Raman detuning.

IV. Spin orbit coupling is realized by two-photon Raman process
• During a two-photon Raman process, an atom changes its spin orientation and its momentum at the same time.
• Loosely speaking, the spin and the momentum of the atom are coupled.

V. Hamiltonian for Spin orbit coupling
20
• kr comes from the coefficient of spin-orbit coupling.
• δ is Raman detuning (ħ set to be 1). • Zeeman field introduces off-diagonal
terms Ω/2.

VI. The band structure with spin-orbit coupling
• In the presence of the spin-orbit coupling, the cold atoms have a dispersion relation shown in the right graph.
• Dashed lines are there if there is no magnetic field.
• A gap appears if there is magnetic field.

VII. Inject the atoms to the spin-orbit coupled state
• Atoms on the two band in the middle are spin-orbit coupled.
• Black dots stand for atoms in the reservoir.
• Transitions of the atoms from the reservoirs are induced by radio wave sweeping.
• Blue and red dots stand for atoms injected with opposite spin orientations.

VIII. Introducing spin-injection spectroscopy
• Transition rate of the atoms are measured as a function of the radio frequency
• The dispersion (energy vs. momentum) relation of the spin-orbit coupled states can be mapped out.
• This is taken as the verification of the presence of spin-orbit coupling.

Summary of Conclusions• The authors created spin-orbit coupling in an ultracold
atomic Fermi gas and detected spin-orbit gap via spin-injection spectroscopy, which characterize the energy-momentum dispersion and allow reconstruction of eigenstates in a spinful lattice.
• The cold atom experimental method in this paper can reveal the nontrivial topology of bands in more general spin-orbit coupled systems (such as with interactions), providing a way to probe topological insulators, and Majorana edge states.
