Mass-imbalanced Fermi mixtures with resonant interactions
Abstract
In these notes I provide an overview of ongoing theoretical and experimental research on ultracold atomic mixtures composed by two different fermionic species. First, I describe a general and simple framework that should allow also a non-expert reader to understand the rich few-body phenomena connected with such systems, and their possible impact at the many-body level. I then move to discuss the specific combination of fermionic lithium (Li) and chromium (Cr) atoms, currently investigated in our lab, highlighting its peculiar properties with respect to other Fermi mixtures nowadays available. Finally, I summarize recent experimental progress achieved in producing and characterizing this novel system, providing an outlook for future studies based on ultracold Li-Cr Fermi mixtures.
