Variational study of phase diagrams of spin–orbit coupled bosons

We use a variational order method to explore the ground state phase diagrams of spin–orbit coupled Bose atoms in optical lattices. By properly parameterizing the order with an ansatz function for each possible phase and comparing their energies which are minimized with respect to the variational par...
