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 …

Polarons, dressed molecules and itinerant ferromagnetism in ultracold Fermi gases

P Massignan, M Zaccanti… - Reports on Progress in …, 2014 - iopscience.iop.org
In this review, we discuss the properties of a few impurity atoms immersed in a gas of
ultracold fermions—the so-called Fermi polaron problem. On one hand, this many-body …

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 …

Boiling a unitary Fermi liquid

Z Yan, PB Patel, B Mukherjee, RJ Fletcher, J Struck… - Physical Review Letters, 2019 - APS
We study the thermal evolution of a highly spin-imbalanced, homogeneous Fermi gas with
unitarity limited interactions, from a Fermi liquid of polarons at low temperatures to a …

General relations for quantum gases in two and three dimensions: Two-component fermions

F Werner, Y Castin - Physical Review A—Atomic, Molecular, and Optical …, 2012 - APS
We derive exact general relations between various observables for N spin-1/2 fermions with
zero-range or short-range interactions, in continuous space or on a lattice, in two or three …

Verification of universal relations in a strongly interacting Fermi gas

JT Stewart, JP Gaebler, TE Drake, DS Jin - Physical Review Letters, 2010 - APS
Many-body fermion systems are important in many branches of physics, including
condensed matter, nuclear, and now cold atom physics. In many cases, the interactions …

Spectral response and contact of the unitary Fermi gas

B Mukherjee, PB Patel, Z Yan, RJ Fletcher, J Struck… - Physical review …, 2019 - APS
We measure radio frequency (rf) spectra of the homogeneous unitary Fermi gas at
temperatures ranging from the Boltzmann regime through quantum degeneracy and across …

Excitation spectra and rf response near the polaron-to-molecule transition from the functional renormalization group

R Schmidt, T Enss - Physical Review A—Atomic, Molecular, and Optical …, 2011 - APS
A light impurity in a Fermi sea undergoes a transition from a polaron to a molecule for
increasing interaction. We develop a method to compute the spectral functions of the …

Fermi polarons in two dimensions

R Schmidt, T Enss, V Pietilä, E Demler - Physical Review A—Atomic, Molecular …, 2012 - APS
We theoretically analyze inverse radio-frequency (rf) spectroscopy experiments in two-
component Fermi gases. We consider a small number of impurity atoms interacting strongly …

Repulsive polarons and itinerant ferromagnetism in strongly polarized Fermi gases

P Massignan, GM Bruun - The European Physical Journal D, 2011 - Springer
We analyze the properties of a single impurity immersed in a Fermi sea. At positive energy
and scattering lengths, we show that the system possesses a well-defined but metastable …
