摘要：

Spin-Orbit (SO) coupling, as a fundamental quantum effect,is an essential ingredient in many topological phases of quantum matters, like topological insulator and topological semiconductor. To synthesize 2-dimensional (2D) SO coupling with ultracold quantum gases is one of the keys in the field of quantum simulation for study topological quantum matters. We report here the realization of a robust and highly controllable 2DSO coupling with topological non-trivial band structure.By applying a retro-reflected 2D optical lattice, the phase tunable Raman couplings are formed into the anti-symmetric optical Raman lattice structure, and generate the 2D SO coupling with precise inversion and C4 symmetries. Further, the topological features of the 2D SO coupling are precisely addressed by both equilibrium and non-equilibrium processes. Our study open the new avenue in quantum simulation to explore exotic quantum many-body effects and non-equilibrium dynamics with novel topology.
