Designing exotic many-body states of atomic spin and motion in photonic crystals

Cold atoms coupled to photonic crystals constitute a platform for exploring many-body physics. Here the authors study the effect of coupling between the atomic internal degrees of freedom and motion, showing that such systems can realize extreme spin-orbital coupling and uncover a rich phase diagram...
