Spin–orbit-coupling induced localization in the expansion of an interacting Bose–Einstein condensate

By developing a hydrodynamic formalism, we investigate the expansion dynamics of the single-minimum phase of a binary spin–orbit coupled Bose–Einstein condensate, after releasing from an external harmonic trap. We find that the expansion of the condensate along the direction of the spin–orbit coupli...
