Funded Activity Summary

Spin-Orbit coupling in a Lithium-6 quasi-2D Fermi gas. Spin-orbit interactions couple a particle's spin to its momentum and underlie remarkable phenomena including topological edge states in insulators and the fractional quantum Hall effect. In conventional solid-state systems these effects are difficult to study due to the complex and imperfect structure of the host material. This project will generate spin-orbit coupling in the defect free and highly controllable environment of an ultracold quasi-two-dimensional Fermi gas to observe new topological phases and Majorana fermions which hold promise for realising decoherence free protected quantum states.
