We chart out the phase diagram of ultracold `spin-half bosons in a one-dimensional optical lattice in the presence of Aubry-Andre (AA) potential and with spin-orbit (SO) and Raman couplings investigating the transition from superfluid (SF) to localized phases and the existence of density wave phase for nearest-neighbor interaction (NNI). We show that the presence of SO coupling and AA potential leads to a novel spin-split momentum distribution of the bosons in the localized phase near the boundary with the SF phase, which can act as a signature of such a transition. We also obtain the level statistics of the bosons in the superfluid phase with finite NNI and demonstrate its change from Gaussian Unitary Ensemble (GUE) to Gaussian Orthogonal Ensemble (GOE) as a function of the Raman coupling. We discuss experiments which can test our theory.

We study the ground state properties of spin-half bosons subjected to the Rashba spin-orbit coupling in two dimensions. Due to the enhancement of the low energy density of states, it is expected that the effect of interaction becomes more important. After reviewing several possible ideal condensed states, we carry out an exact diagonalization calculation for a cluster of the bosons in the presence of strong spin-orbit coupling on a two-dimensional disk and reveal strong correlations in its ground state. We derive a low-energy effective Hamiltonian to understand how states with strong correlations become energetically more favorable than the ideal condensed states.
A hole injected into a Mott insulator will gain an internal structure as recently identified by exact numerics, which is characterized by a nontrivial quantum number whose nature is of central importance in understanding the Mott physics. In this wor k, we show that a spin texture associated with such an internal degree of freedom can explicitly manifest after the spin degeneracy is lifted by a emph{weak} Rashba spin-orbit coupling (SOC). It is described by an emergent angular momentum $J_{z}=pm3/2$ as shown by both exact diagonalization (ED) and variational Monte Carlo (VMC) calculations, which are in good agreement with each other at a finite size. In particular, as the internal structure such a spin texture is generally present in the hole composite even at high excited energies, such that a corresponding texture in momentum space, extending deep inside the Brillouin zone, can be directly probed by the spin-polarized angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy (ARPES). This is in contrast to a Landau quasiparticle under the SOC, in which the spin texture induced by SOC will not be protected once the excited energy is larger than the weak SOC coupling strength, away from the Fermi energy. We point out that the spin texture due to the SOC should be monotonically enhanced with reducing spin-spin correlation length in the superconducting/pseudogap phase at finite doping. A brief discussion of a recent experiment of the spin-polarized ARPES will be made.
Several realistic spin-orbital models for transition metal oxides go beyond the classical expectations and could be understood only by employing the quantum entanglement. Experiments on these materials confirm that spin-orbital entanglement has measu rable consequences. Here, we capture the essential features of spin-orbital entanglement in complex quantum matter utilizing 1D spin-orbital model which accommodates SU(2)xSU(2) symmetric Kugel-Khomskii superexchange as well as the Ising on-site spin-orbit coupling. Building on the results obtained for full and effective models in the regime of strong spin-orbit coupling, we address the question whether the entanglement found on superexchange bonds always increases when the Ising spin-orbit coupling is added. We show that (i) quantum entanglement is amplified by strong spin-orbit coupling and, surprisingly, (ii) almost classical disentangled states are possible. We complete the latter case by analyzing how the entanglement existing for intermediate values of spin-orbit coupling can disappear for higher values of this coupling.

Anisotropic superexchange interaction is one of the most important interactions in realizing exotic quantum magnetism, which is traditionally regarded to originate from magnetic ions and has no relation with the nonmagnetic ions. In our work, by stud ying a multi-orbital Hubbard model with spin-orbit coupling on both magnetic cations and nonmagnetic anions, we analytically demonstrate that the spin-orbit coupling on nonmagnetic anions alone can induce antisymmetric Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya interaction, symmetric anisotropic exchange and single ion anisotropy on the magnetic ions and thus it actually contributes to anisotropic superexchange on an equal footing as that of magnetic ions. Our results promise one more route to realize versatile exotic phases in condensed matter systems, long-range orders in low dimensional materials and switchable single molecule magnetic devices for recording and manipulating quantum information through nonmagnetic anions.
Bose-Einstein condensation (BEC) of triplet excitations triggered by a magnetic field, sometimes called magnon BEC, in dimerized antiferromagnets gives rise to a long-range antiferromagnetic order in the plane perpendicular to the applied magnetic fi eld. To explore the effects of spin-orbit coupling on magnon condensation, we study the spin model on the distorted honeycomb lattice with dimerized Heisenberg exchange ($J$ terms) and uniform off-diagonal exchange ($Gamma$ terms) interactions. By using variational Monte Carlo method and spin wave theory, we find that an out-of-plane magnetic field can induce different types of long-range magnetic orders, no matter if the ground state is a non-magnetic dimerized state or an antiferromagnetically ordered N{e}el state. Furthermore, the critical properties of field-driven phase transitions in systems with spin-orbit coupling can be different from the conventional magnon BEC. Our study is helpful to understand the rich phases of spin-orbit coupled antiferromagnets in an external magnetic field.
