Funded Activity Summary

Spin-orbit coupled quantum gases: understanding new generation materials with topological order. Topological insulators and superconductors are new functional materials discovered very recently in solid-state systems. They have remarkable, topologically protected states on their surfaces that render the electrons travelling insensitive to the scattering by impurities or disorder. Their potential applications in our ordinary life are far-reaching, ranging from novel energy-saving devices to realistic quantum computers. This project will obtain greatly improved understanding of the novel topological states that underlie such new generation materials, by using the highly controllable settings of spin-orbit coupled quantum gases. It will advance Australia’s position at the forefront of ultracold atomic physics research.
