An illustration of the experimental scheme for realizing SOC for cold atoms6.
(a) Laser setup. (b) Atom laser coupling. (c) A typical density distribution of one spin component of the BEC in the ground state. (d) Corresponding momentum distribution. The vertical and horizontal dotted lines are kx = 0 and ky = 0 respectively.
