In this talk, intended for a broad audience, I will describe our recent work on<br />
interacting fermions in synthetic non-Abelian gauge fields. A uniform non-Abelian<br />
gauge field, such as those proposed and realized in cold-atom systems, produces a<br />
generalized Rashba spin-orbit interaction that influences the motion <strong>of</strong> the fermions. I<br />
will show that this system contains rich and novel physics whose significance extends<br />
from high temperature superconductivity to quantum computing. A novel feature<br />
uncovered in our most recent work is the phenomenon <strong>of</strong> flow enhanced pairing<br />
apparently contradicting Landau who argues that flow is detrimental to pairing.<br />
Reference on flow enhanced pairing: 1211.1831. I thank J. P. Vyasanakere for<br />
comments and criticisms, and DAE/DST for generous support <strong>of</strong> this work.
