The equation of state of a low-temperature Fermi gas with tunable interactions

N Navon, S Nascimbene, F Chevy, C Salomon - Science, 2010 - science.org
Interacting fermions are ubiquitous in nature, and understanding their thermodynamics is an
important problem. We measured the equation of state of a two-component ultracold Fermi …

Making, probing and understanding ultracold Fermi gases

W Ketterle, MW Zwierlein - La Rivista del Nuovo Cimento, 2008 - Springer

three lectures which one of the authors gave at the Varenna Summer School describing the …

Thermodynamics of the BCS-BEC crossover

R Haussmann, W Rantner, S Cerrito, W Zwerger - Physical Review A—Atomic …, 2007 - APS
We present a self-consistent theory for the thermodynamics of the BCS-BEC crossover in the
normal and superfluid phase which is both conserving and gapless. It is based on the …

Probing anisotropic superfluidity in atomic Fermi gases with Rashba spin-orbit coupling

H Hu, L Jiang, XJ Liu, H Pu - Physical Review Letters, 2011 - APS
Motivated by the prospect of realizing a Fermi gas with a synthetic non-Abelian gauge field,
we investigate theoretically a strongly interacting Fermi gas in the presence of a Rashba …

Universal behavior of pair correlations in a strongly interacting Fermi gas

ED Kuhnle, H Hu, XJ Liu, P Dyke, M Mark… - Physical Review Letters, 2010 - APS
We show that short-range pair correlations in a strongly interacting Fermi gas follow a simple
universal law described by Tan's relations. This is achieved through measurements of the …
