Motivated by the prospect of realizing a Fermi gas with a synthetic non-Abelian gauge field, we investigate theoretically a strongly interacting Fermi gas in the presence of a Rashba spin-orbit coupling. As the twofold spin degeneracy is lifted by spin-orbit interaction, bound pairs with mixed singlet and triplet components emerge, leading to an anisotropic superfluid. We calculate the relevant physical quantities, such as the momentum distribution, the single-particle spectral function, and the spin structure factor, that characterize the system.read more

TL;DR: From momentum distribution and momentum-resolved radio-frequency spectroscopy, the change of fermion population in different helicity branches consistent with a finite temperature calculation is observed, which indicates that a Lifshitz transition of the Fermi surface topology change can be found by further cooling the system.

Degenerate quantum gases with spin?orbit coupling: a review
TL;DR: It is shown that investigating SO coupling in cold atom systems can enrich the understanding of basic phenomena such as superfluidity, provide a good platform for simulating condensed matter states such as topological superfluids and result in novel quantum systems such as SO coupled unitary Fermi gas and high spin quantum gases.
