Outline of Final Research Achievements |
We studied topological quantum phenomena caused by spin-orbit coupling. For Bose-Einstein condensates (BECs) of cold atmoic gases, we have discussed the spin Hall effect, BEC dynamics under a non-Abelian gauge field, and topological invariants defined in a non-Hermitian system, which arise from the magnetic dipole-dipole interaction or Laser-induced spin-orbital coupling. For solid-state systems, we have investigated transport phenomena and magnetic skyrmion structure caused by spin-orbit interaction originating from relativistic effects.

Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements |
冷却原子気体系および固体電子系においてスピン軌道相互作用によりもたらされる新奇現象を明らかにした。特に、磁気的双極子相互作用がスピン軌道結合として働いてスピンホール効果を起こすこと、および、非エルミート系において、例外点が存在する場合においてもトポロジカル数が定義できることを示したのは我々の研究が初めてである。
