There has been surging advance in the field of spin-orbit coupled (SOC) quantum gases over thepassing years.After a brief account of experimental and theoretical achievements, I will talk aboutour work on spin-orbit coupled quantum gases.For Fermi gases, as a competition of SOC and thepopulation imbalance, the finite temperature phase diagram reveals a large variety of new features,including the expanding of the superfluid state regime and the shrinking of both the phase separationand the normal regimes.For Bose gases, we identify various features arising from the interplay of SOC and interspecies interaction, including a roton minimum in the excitation spectrum and dualeffects of SOC on ground-state energies depending on interspecies interactions.We show that thestatic structure factor is immune to the SOC in the phase space where time-reversal symmetry ispreserved.
