Abstract We investigate the dynamics of a two-component Bose-Einstein condensate subject to spin-orbital-angular-momentum coupling and confined to a ring, via the variational approach. Adopting a single-mode approximation by assuming that the BEC carries a single angular momentum for SU(2)-symmetric spin interactions, the equations of motion for the variational parameters are derived. The phase diagram of the ground state in the plane of the Raman coupling and detuning contains three different phases which meet at a tricritical point, and the exact phase boundaries between the three phases are determined. Linear stability analysis shows that the stationary state is dynamically stable, and there exists an oscillation eigenmode with frequency determined by detuning, angular momentum, and Raman coupling. The time-evolution results indicate that the spin vector undergoes periodic rotation along a closed orbit on the Bloch sphere, which can be interpreted as a precession of the collective spin around an effective field determined by the Raman coupling strength, the detuning, and the angular momentum.

Online attention
Altmetric calculates a score based on the online attention an article receives. Each coloured thread in the circle represents a different type of online attention. The number in the centre is the Altmetric score. Social media and mainstream news media are the main sources that calculate the score. Reference managers such as Mendeley are also tracked but do not contribute to the score. Older articles often score higher because they have had more time to get noticed. To account for this, Altmetric has included the context data for other articles of a similar age.
