We consider the symmetry breaking of a matter-wave soliton formed by spinor Bose-Einstein condensates (BECs) illuminated by a two-spot laser beam. This laser beam introduces spin-orbit (SO) coupling in the BECs such that the SO coupling…
Superconductivity has been recently observed in Sr_{0.4}Ca_{13.6}Cu_{24}O_{41.84} which contains quasi-one-dimensional Cu_{2}O_{3} 2-leg ladders. If, as suggested by some theories, the superconductivity arises from these 2-leg ladders, it…
We develop a low-energy effective theory for spin-1/2 frustrated two-leg Heisenberg spin ladders. We obtain a new type of interchain coupling that breaks parity symmetry. In the presence of an XXZ-type anisotropy, this interaction gives…
The Hubbard model on a two-leg ladder structure has been studied by a combination of series expansions at T=0 and the density-matrix renormalization group. We report results for the ground state energy $E_0$ and spin-gap $\Delta_s$ at…

The theory of the long range order of orbital current loops in the pseudogap phase is generalized to include the effects of spin-orbit scattering. It is shown by symmetry arguments as well as by microscopic calculation that a specific…
In numerical simulations, spontaneously broken symmetry is often detected by computing two-point correlation functions of the appropriate local order parameter. This approach, however, computes the square of the local order parameter, and…
We show that scalar chiral order can be induced by four-spin exchanges in the two-leg spin ladder, using the spin-chirality duality transformation and matrix-product ansatz. Scalar-chiral-ordered states are found to be exact ground states…
