Time-dependent density functional theory and the real-time dynamics of Fermi superfluids

A Bulgac - Annual Review of Nuclear and Particle Science, 2013 - annualreviews.org
I describe the time-dependent superfluid local density approximation, which is an adiabatic
extension of the density functional theory to superfluid Fermi systems and their real-time …

Strongly correlated quantum fluids: ultracold quantum gases, quantum chromodynamic plasmas and holographic duality

A Adams, LD Carr, T Schäfer, P Steinberg… - New Journal of …, 2012 - iopscience.iop.org
Strongly correlated quantum fluids are phases of matter that are intrinsically quantum
mechanical and that do not have a simple description in terms of weakly interacting …

Heavy solitons in a fermionic superfluid

T Yefsah, AT Sommer, MJH Ku, LW Cheuk, W Ji… - Nature, 2013 - nature.com
Solitons—solitary waves that maintain their shape as they propagate—occur as water waves
in narrow canals, as light pulses in optical fibres and as quantum mechanical matter waves …

Motion of a Solitonic Vortex in the BEC-BCS Crossover

MJH Ku, W Ji, B Mukherjee, E Guardado-Sanchez… - Physical review …, 2014 - APS
We observe a long-lived solitary wave in a superfluid Fermi gas of Li 6 atoms after phase
imprinting. Tomographic imaging reveals the excitation to be a solitonic vortex, oriented …

Quantized superfluid vortex rings in the unitary Fermi gas

A Bulgac, MMN Forbes, MM Kelley, KJ Roche… - Physical review …, 2014 - APS
In a recent article, Yefsah [Nature (London) 499, 426 (2013)] report the observation of an
unusual excitation in an elongated harmonically trapped unitary Fermi gas. After phase …

Many-body quantum dynamics in the decay of bent dark solitons of Bose–Einstein condensates

GC Katsimiga, SI Mistakidis… - New Journal of …, 2017 - iopscience.iop.org
The beyond mean-field (MF) dynamics of a bent dark soliton (BDS) embedded in a two-
dimensional repulsively interacting Bose–Einstein condensate is explored. We examine the …

Dark solitons with Majorana fermions in spin-orbit-coupled Fermi gases

Y Xu, L Mao, B Wu, C Zhang - Physical Review Letters, 2014 - APS
We show that a single dark soliton can exist in a spin-orbit-coupled Fermi gas with a high
spin imbalance, where spin-orbit coupling favors uniform superfluids over nonuniform Fulde …

Vortex mass in a superfluid

T Simula - Physical Review A, 2018 - APS
We consider the inertial mass of a vortex in a superfluid. We obtain a vortex mass that is well
defined and is determined microscopically and self-consistently by the elementary excitation …

Chladni solitons and the onset of the snaking instability for dark solitons in confined superfluids

A Muñoz Mateo, J Brand - Physical review letters, 2014 - APS
Complex solitary waves composed of intersecting vortex lines are predicted in a channeled
superfluid. Their shapes in a cylindrical trap include a cross, spoke wheels, and Greek Φ …

Persistent currents supported by solitary waves in toroidal Bose-Einstein condensates

A Muñoz Mateo, A Gallemí, M Guilleumas, R Mayol - Physical Review A, 2015 - APS
We analyze the nucleation of persistent currents in Bose-Einstein condensates of ultracold
gases confined in a ring. This phenomenon has been recently investigated in an experiment …
