摘　　要：Spin-orbit coupling is a relativistic effect for the charge par- ticles such as electrons. It has been found that the spin-orbit coupling plays an important role in many branches of physics, for instance, in condensed matter physics, the spin-orbit cou- pling is the key ingredient responsible for the spintronics [ 1 ] and the topological insulator [2]. Nevertheless, in the past, the effect of spin-orbit coupling has only been investigated in many-body systems of fermions. What happens if the spin-orbit coupling is introduced to an interacting boson sys- tem？ Previously, such a system barely exists, while the recent progress of cold atom physics makes it possible. In fact, this is one of a few examples that the recent developments of cold atom physics introduce new physics to us.Spin-orbit coupling is a relativistic effect for the charge particles such as electrons.It has been found that the spin-orbit coupling plays an important role in many branches of physics,for instance,in condensed matter physics,the spin-orbit cou-
