Electronic properties like current flow are generally independent of the electron's spin angular momentum, an internal degree of freedom present in quantum particles. The spin Hall effects (SHEs), first proposed 40 years ago, are an unusual…
Spinful superfluids of ultracold atoms are ideal for investigating the intrinsic properties of spin current and texture because they are realized in an isolated, nondissipative system free from impurities, dislocations, and thermal…

Intrinsic spin angular-momentum coupling of an electron has a relativistic quantum origin with the coupling arising from charged-orbits, which does not carry over to charge-neutral atoms. Here we propose a mechanism of spontaneous…
The high degree of control on ultracold gases allows us to precisely manipulate their internal state. When the gas is made of atoms in two different internal states, it can be considered as a two-component spin mixture. Below a critical…
We show that spinor Bose gases subject to a quadratic Zeeman effect exhibit coexisting superfluidity and spin superfluidity, and study the interplay between these two distinct types of superfluidity. To illustrate that the basic principles…
Nonlinearities can have a profound influence on the dynamics and equilibrium properties of discrete lattice systems. The simple case of two coupled modes with self-nonlinearities gives rise to the rich bosonic Josephson effects. In…
