Quantum phases in spin-orbit-coupled Floquet spinor Bose gases

We propose a spin-orbit-coupled Floquet spinor Bose-Einstein condensate (BEC) which can be implemented by Floquet engineering of a quadratic Zeeman field. The Floquet spinor BEC has a Bessel-function-modulated Rabi frequency and a Floquet-induced spin-exchange interaction. The quantum phase diagram...

description We propose a spin-orbit-coupled Floquet spinor Bose-Einstein condensate (BEC) which can be implemented by Floquet engineering of a quadratic Zeeman field. The Floquet spinor BEC has a Bessel-function-modulated Rabi frequency and a Floquet-induced spin-exchange interaction. The quantum phase diagram of the spin-orbit-coupled Floquet spinor BEC is investigated by considering antiferromagnetic or ferromagnetic spin-spin interactions. In comparison with the usual spin-orbit-coupled spin-1 BEC, we find that a stripe phase for antiferromagnetic interactions can exist in a large quadratic Zeeman field regime, and a different stripe phase with an experimentally favorable contrast for ferromagnetic interactions is uncovered.
