Experimental investigation of dynamics in spin-orbit coupled BECs.

In this poster we will present results from a Bose-Einstein condensate (BEC) experiment at WSU studying dynamics of spin-orbit coupled $^{87}$Rb BECs. Ultra-cold atomic gases provide a very promising setting for such studies because of the high tunability and precise characterization of system parameters. We will describe our experimental setup as well as results from a recent study of spin dynamics induced by quantum quenches.
