Frustrated superfluids in a non-Abelian flux


الملخص بالإنكليزية

We study possible superfluid states of the Rashba spin-orbit coupled (SOC) spinor bosons with the spin anisotropic interaction $ lambda $ hopping in a square lattice. The frustrations from the non-abelian flux due to the SOC leads to novel spin-bond correlated superfluids. By using a recently developed systematic order from quantum disorder analysis, we not only determine the true quantum ground state, but also evaluate the mass gap in the spin sector at $ lambda < 1 $, especially compute the the excitation spectrum of the Goldstone mode in the spin sector at $ lambda=1 $ which would be quadratic without the analysis. The analysis also leads to different critical exponents on the two sides of the 2nd order transition driven by a roton touchdown at $ lambda=1 $. The intimate analogy at $ lambda=1 $ with the charge neutral Goldstone mode in the pseudo-spin sector in the Bilayer quantum Hall systems at the total filling factor $ u_T=1 $ are stressed. The experimental implications and detections of these novel phenomena in cold atoms loaded on a optical lattice are presented.
