The BCS–BEC crossover: From ultra-cold Fermi gases to nuclear systems

GC Strinati, P Pieri, G Röpke, P Schuck, M Urban - Physics Reports, 2018 - Elsevier
This report addresses topics and questions of common interest in the fields of ultra-cold
gases and nuclear physics in the context of the BCS–BEC crossover. By this crossover, the …

Theory of ultracold atomic Fermi gases

S Giorgini, LP Pitaevskii, S Stringari - Reviews of Modern Physics, 2008 - APS
The physics of quantum degenerate atomic Fermi gases in uniform as well as in
harmonically trapped configurations is reviewed from a theoretical perspective. Emphasis is …

Crossover from Bardeen-Cooper-Schrieffer to Bose-Einstein condensation and the unitary Fermi gas

M Randeria, E Taylor - Annu. Rev. Condens. Matter Phys., 2014 - annualreviews.org
The crossover from weak-coupling Bardeen-Cooper-Schrieffer (BCS) pairing to a Bose-
Einstein condensate (BEC) of tightly bound pairs, as a function of the attractive interaction in …

BCS–BEC crossover: From high temperature superconductors to ultracold superfluids

Q Chen, J Stajic, S Tan, K Levin - Physics Reports, 2005 - Elsevier
We review the BCS to Bose–Einstein condensation (BEC) crossover scenario which is
based on the well known crossover generalization of the BCS ground state wavefunction …

Pairing and phase separation in a polarized Fermi gas

GB Partridge, W Li, RI Kamar, Y Liao, RG Hulet - Science, 2006 - science.org
We report the observation of pairing in a gas of atomic fermions with unequal numbers of
two components. Beyond a critical polarization, the gas separates into a phase that is …

Universal phase diagram of a strongly interacting Fermi gas with unbalanced spin populations

F Chevy - Physical Review A—Atomic, Molecular, and Optical …, 2006 - APS
We present a theoretical interpretation of a recent experiment presented by Zwierlein
[Nature (London) 442, 54 (2006)] on the density profile of Fermi gases with unbalanced spin …

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 …

Lattice simulations for few-and many-body systems

D Lee - Progress in Particle and Nuclear Physics, 2009 - Elsevier
We review the recent literature on lattice simulations for few-and many-body systems. We
focus on methods that combine the framework of effective field theory with computational …

Heat capacity of a strongly interacting Fermi gas

J Kinast, A Turlapov, JE Thomas, Q Chen, J Stajic… - Science, 2005 - science.org
We have measured the heat capacity of an optically trapped, strongly interacting Fermi gas
of atoms. A precise addition of energy to the gas is followed by single-parameter …
