The current attempt is aimed to honor the first centennial of Johannes Diderik van der Waals (VDW) awarding Nobel Prize in Physics. The VDW theory of ordinary fluids is reviewed in the first part of the paper, where special effort is…
It is shown that the single-particle spin-orbit coupling terms, which---in the cold atom context---are associated with synthetic gauge fields, can significantly and non-trivially modify the phase accumulation at small interparticle…
