An atomic colour superfluid via three-body loss

Quantum Gases 2012-09-12 v1

Abstract

Large three-body losses in a three-component Fermi gas confined in an optical lattice can prevent the occupation of a lattice site by three atoms. This effective constraint not only gives rise to a suppression of actual three-body loss, but stabilises BCS pairing phases by suppressing the formation of trions. We study the effects of the constraint using bosonisation and density matrix renormalisation group techniques (DMRG). We discuss the case of lithium experiments, and study the dissipative dynamics including loss using time-dependent DMRG with quantum trajectories methods.
