Abstract

We propose a novel scheme to generate the spin-orbit coupling for a condensate placed inside an optical cavity by using a standing wave and a traveling wave. It is shown that the interplay of the laser lights and the cavity gives rise to rich quantum phases. Our scheme also generates a large synthetic magnetic field for the dressed spin state, which may facilitate the study of the quantum Hall effect in ultracold atomic gases.
