 abstract = {Systems with spin-orbit coupling have the potential to realize exotic
quantum states which are interesting both from fundamental and
technological perspectives. We investigate the physics that arises when
a correlated spin-1/2 quantum impurity hybridizes with a spin-orbit
coupled Fermi system. The intriguing aspect uncovered is that, in
contrast to unit local moments in conventional systems, the impurity
here develops a fractional local moment of 2/3. The concomitant Kondo
effect has a high Kondo temperature (T-K). Our theory explains these
features including the origins of the fractional local moment and
provides a recipe to use spin-orbit coupling (lambda) to enhance the
Kondo temperature (T-K similar to lambda(4/3)). Even as our finding of
such rich phenomena in a simple looking many-body system is of interest
in itself, we also point out opportunities for systems with tunable
spin-orbit coupling (such as cold atoms) to explore this physics.},
