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 …

Observation of the pairing gap in a strongly interacting Fermi gas

C Chin, M Bartenstein, A Altmeyer, S Riedl, S Jochim… - Science, 2004 - science.org
We studied fermionic pairing in an ultracold two-component gas of 6Li atoms by observing
an energy gap in the radio-frequency excitation spectra. With control of the two-body …

Making, probing and understanding ultracold Fermi gases

W Ketterle, MW Zwierlein - La Rivista del Nuovo Cimento, 2008 - Springer
This paper summarizes the experimental frontier of ultracold fermionic gases. It is based on
three lectures which one of the authors gave at the Varenna Summer School describing the …

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

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 …

Direct observation of the superfluid phase transition in ultracold Fermi gases

MW Zwierlein, CH Schunck, A Schirotzek, W Ketterle - nature, 2006 - nature.com
Phase transitions are dramatic phenomena: water freezes into ice, atomic spins
spontaneously align in a magnet, and liquid helium becomes superfluid. Sometimes, such a …

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
