摘要
Focusing on the efficient probe and manipulation of single-particle spin states, we investigate the coupled spin and orbital dynamics of a spin-1/2 particle in a harmonic potential subject to ultrastrong spin-orbit interaction and external magnetic field. The advantage of these systems is the clear visualization of the strong spin-orbit coupling in the orbital dynamics. We also investigate the effect of a time-dependent coupling: Its nonadiabatic change causes an interesting interplay of spin and orbital motion which is related to the direction and magnitude of the applied magnetic field. This result suggests that orbital state manipulation can be realized through ultrastrong spin-orbit interactions, becoming a useful tool for handling entangled spin and orbital degrees of freedom to produce, for example, spin-desirable polarizations in time that are interesting for spintronics implementations.
