英文摘要： The experimental realization of spin-orbit coupling in ultracold atoms has broaden the research visual field of ultracold atomic system as the platform of quantum simulation, the studies on the novel quantum state and peculiar properties in spin-orbit coupled ultracold atoms have been one of the international hot research topics currently. By combing the analytical calculation and numerical simulation methods, this project is devoted to studying the superfluidity of spin-orbit coupled ultracold Fermi gases in optical lattice. This project mainly analyzes the affects of spin-orbit coupling on the superfluidity stability and collective excitation of ultracold Fermi gases in moving optical lattice, and explores the novel quantum states and quantum phase transitions induced by the spin-orbit coupling in triangle and hexagonal optical lattices. On the one hand, this project expects to reveal the mechanism how the spin-orbit coupling affects the critical superfluidity velocity and excitation spectrum of Fermi gases in moving optical lattice. On the other hand, this project will summary the universal laws of the affects of spin-orbit coupling on Fermi atomic pairing and superfluidity density in triangle or hexagonal optical lattices, and discover the novel quantum states and determine the relation between the critical point of quantum phase transition and spin-orbit coupling. The results given by this project would have meaning to deeply understand the novel quantum phenomena induced by spin-orbit coupling, and it will provide new thought to simulate the quantum many-body system in traditional condensed physics by using the ultracold atomic platform.
