We present a systematic theoretical study of the BCS-BEC crossover problem in 3D atomic Fermi gases at zero temperature with a spherical spin-orbit coupling which can be realized by a synthetic non-Abelian gauge field coupled to fermions. Our investigations are based on the path integral formalism which is a powerful theoretical scheme for the study of the properties of bound state, the superfluid ground state, and the collective excitations in the BCS-BEC crossover. At large spin-orbit coupling, the system enters the BEC state of a novel type of bound state (referred to as rashbon) which possesses a non-trivial effective mass. Analytical results and interesting universal behaviors for various physical quantities at large spin-orbit coupling are obtained. Our theoretical predictions can be tested in future experiments of cold Fermi gases with 3D spherical spin-orbit coupling.
